A home for their legacy. Co-Founder, Lyon Wong, formally introduced the company and spoke about the team’s mission to provide hope and support to the cancer community, addressing the needs of patients and caregivers with 4 principle areas of development: Connection; Caregiving; Contribution; and Closure. Fred Hutchinson immunotherapy researcher, Dr. Cassian Yee, followed Wong’s overview. Dr. Yee is a pioneer in the field of adoptive immunotherapy, in which special cancer-fighting T-cells are extracted from a patient’s body, multiplied, and transplanted back into the patient.
