Henrietta Lacks and the HeLa Cells
She was a woman of few names that hold a long and grand story. This woman was referred to as HeLa, Helen Lane, all but her real name, Henrietta Lacks.
While her story was often unclear, patchy, and confusing, in recent years her story was released by Author Rebecca Skloot in 2010 in her book “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.”
This novel is part of the Sophomore curriculum here at Stroudsburg.
Henrietta Lacks was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 1951. Later, a biopsy confirmed she had Stage 1 cancer in late January or February. However, months later, she passed at 31 years old in October that same year due to the disease.
