A former researcher at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, he is known as the founder and director of the Wise Nutrition Center in Israel, and the developer of the dietary supplement Curcumall. He researched in the fields of molecular biology,〔(Israeli Scientists Develop New Form of Antioxidant, Curcumin )〕 science education and integrative medicine focusing on nutrition and health. He served as a member of the scientific committee of the Hebrew Encyclopedia 〔Encyclopedia Hebraica (The Hebrew Encyclopedia) volumes: 20-28〕 editor and writer of articles in biochemistry, geology, chemistry and medicine. ==Biography== Menny (Menahem) Rabinovich was born in Jerusalem, Israel, to Miriam and Dr. Elchanan Rabinovich, who was Head of the Pediatrics department at the Hadassah Medical Center, and Chairman of Israeli Medical Association.
