    Benefiting Humanity

    Prof. Emeritus Nechama Haran-Ghera
    Prof. Emeritus Nechama Haran-Ghera, in collaboration with Israeli physicians, showed that the hormone erythropoietin may be helpful in treating multiple myeloma and other cancers. In mice injected with myeloma cells, the hormone prolonged survival, caused tumor regression and reduced mortality.
