Through the years, we have also had the privilege of meeting with many true visionaries during regular delegations to Israel, such as Professor Lior Gepstein, who made the groundbreaking discovery that stem cells differentiate into beating heart cells, and Professor Avigdor Scherz, who first developed a technique of fighting cancer cells with photodynamics.
