NEW YORK (JTA) — A New York-based foundation has given $1.8 million to the American Technion Society for kidney research at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa.
The grant from the E. Ike Eshaghian Foundation will be used for three core projects that address the causes and complications of kidney disease, according to the release from the Technion society.
The foundation was started by the late Eshagh Eshaghian, who was trained as a petro-chemical engineer at the University of Texas, made his fortune in the antiques business and later in real estate.
