Johns Hopkins University just announced that the school will name a new research building after Henrietta Lacks, whose cancer cells changed medical research.
“Through her life and her cancer cells, Henrietta Lacks had an immeasurable effect on science and medicine that has touched countless lives around the world,” Johns Hopkins President Ronald Daniels said during the university’s 9th Henrietta
Lacks Memorial Lecture in 2018.
The building will be located just north of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and will support programs that improve participation and partnership with members of the community in research that can benefit the community.
Lacks was a black woman who was born on a farm in Roanoke, Virginia, in 1920. In 1951, at 31 years old, the mother of five visited Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins Hospital complaining of stomach pain that later turned out to be cervical(子宫颈的) cancer. Her cancer cells were later used without her permission to create the first immortal(永生的) cell line, known as the HeLa cell line.
The HeLa cells were used to develop the first polio vaccine(小儿麻痹症疫苗) in 1952, and helped the study of human papillomavirus(HPV), which causes the cervical cancer that eventually killed Lacks.
Lacks and her story were relatively unknown until 2010 when reporter Rebecca Skloot published The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. In 2017, The New York Times bestselling book was made into a film titled The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks starring Oprah Winfrey and Rose Byrne.
Lacks’ granddaughter, Jeri Lacks, and other family members attended the university’s announcement. “It is a proud day for the Lacks family. We have been working with Hopkins for many years now on events and projects that honor our grandmother,” Jeri Lacks said. “They are all meaningful, but this is the greatest honor.”
