New Bezos Family Immunotherapy Clinic highlights patient-centered science

A scientific symposium at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the Dec. 12 grand opening of the Bezos Family Immunotherapy Clinic, named in honor of the family’s deep commitment to immunotherapy research. The ribbon was cut by Stephanie Florence, a former immunotherapy patient whose lymphoma was treated with genetically engineered, cancer-targeting immune cells on a Fred Hutch clinical trial. She has now been cancer-free for 18 months. The clinic, located at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, will allow researchers to conduct twice as many immunotherapy trials in the next year.
