Thank you, Henrietta!
The goal of the Henrietta Lacks Memorial Lecture is to describe the reach and complexity, both biomedically and ethically, of the story of Mrs. Henrietta Lacks and HeLa cells, as well as to provide some insight into the past, present, and future of the conduct of clinical research. By honoring Mrs. Lacks and the positive global impact of HeLa cells through this lecture series, the Johns Hopkins ICTR hopes to acknowledge, thank and honor everyone who participates in the clinical research process.
