她的名字叫 Henrietta Lacks，但在科学界人们称她为 HeLa。她是一位贫穷的黑人烟农，其细胞在 1951 年未经她知情同意的情况下被提取——并成为现代医学最重要的基石之一，对脊髓灰质炎疫苗的研发、克隆技术、基因测序、体外受精等领域至关重要。Henrietta 的细胞已被数十亿次地买卖，然而她本人却几乎鲜为人知，她的家人甚至连医疗保险都负担不起。这本 New York Times 畅销书带领读者踏上了一段非凡的旅程，从 1950 年代 Johns Hopkins Hospital 的“有色人种”病房，到刺眼的白色实验室……

But when I took The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks out of the library (published this year, and an incredible book up for many awards) my public health faculty SO had never heard of her or the cells. The contribution of HeLa cells to modern biology is…
