\"20\"Technion leaders and heads of Israel\u2019s pharmaceutical industry held a commemorative evening in memory of the late Abraham Barry Cohen, who served as Senior Vice President of Merck & Co. and from 1977 to 1988 as President of the Merck Sharp & Dohme International Division, and as a longstanding member of the Board of Directors of Teva and Technion\u2019s AMIT Institute. He passed away a few months ago in New York.<\/p>\n

The President of Technion, Professor Peretz Lavie, said that he appreciates that the ceremony was being given at Technion, since Barry Cohen played an important role in his AMIT Institute.<\/p>\n

Moshe Arens, Former Israeli Defence Minister, praised the enormous contribution of Mr. Cohen to \u201cTeva\u201d and his foresight and business vision. He said that, \u201cTeva was and remains an Israeli company not looking for an exit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Jeremy Levin, the President and CEO of Teva, said that Barry Cohen interviewed him when he first started working for the company. He said that it was not an easy interview, and that Barry asked him a lot of difficult questions. \u201cHe was especially interested in my knowledge of medicine, globalization, and my connection with Israel,\u201d he said. \u201cHe again stressed the importance of innovation in helping patients around the world,\u201d he added. \u201cGood people have led Teva to what it is today, and Barry was one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Professor Aaron Ciechanover from Technion\u2019s Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine (both he and his brother were very close friends with Barry Cohen) lectured on \u201cPersonalized Medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n

The host of the evening: Mr Avi Kerbs, President and CEO of Teuza\u00a0 .<\/p>\n
