ISRAEL IN THE TIME OF COVID-19

With so many countries working to find an effective vaccine as well as treatments, many people have asked us to find out what vaccine-related research is being done in Israel and how Israeli health professionals are treating those who have become infected with the virus. 

On Sunday, December 6 at 11:00 am PT, Dr. David Naveh will moderate a discussion on Israel’s COVID-19  technological response. Dr. Naveh has been involved in drug development and commercialization including Alpha Interferon-Intron, Remicade, Kogenate, Sargomostim, ReoPro, and others in his career in Schering, J&J and Bayer. David led the $700M construction of the Biotech center for Bayer Corp. in Berkeley 4th street. David’s own company, Hemogem, develops blood clotting proteins.
