    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.

The Tour

The tour opens with a brief film, “King without a Kingdom,” describing the life and work of Chaim Weizmann. It is screened in a hall built in 1978 as the offices of Yad Chaim Weizmann. The tour of the house includes the entrance floor (entrance hall, dining room, library, drawing room, and kitchen area) and the upper floors (bedrooms and washrooms). The cloakroom at the front entrance now contains an exhibit on members of the Weizmann family, Dr. Vera Weizmann’s public activity, and the Weizmanns’ son Michael, a pilot killed in World War II. It also displays some of Dr. Chaim Weizmann’s personal belongings.
