Emily’s Story – A Journey of Hope and Pioneering the Future of Advanced Therapies
When Emily Whitehead was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at age five, her family faced devastating odds after multiple relapses and no remaining treatment options. Refusing to give up, her parents enrolled her in an experimental CAR T-cell therapy clinical trial—the first pediatric patient in the world to receive this groundbreaking treatment.
Emily’s groundbreaking treatment not only saved her life but also sparked a global movement toward advanced therapies. Today, Emily is cancer-free, and her story continues to inspire hope and progress.
