A lunch honoring American friends Vera and Dr. John Schwartz of Los Angeles presented an opportunity to honor the couple for their deep commitment to the Weizmann Institute of Science, including their most recent gift establishing the Schwartz Family Center for Metabolic Biology.

The center, headed by Prof. Asaph Aharoni of the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, explores the emerging field of metabolomics. The Schwartz family has also created a Research Fellow Chair in immunology, among other gifts.

Prof. Avraham Levy, Dean of the Faculty of Biochemistry, thanked them for their generous support, as did Prof. Daniel Zajfman, President of the Weizmann Institute.
