Patient Spotlight: Emily Venanzi, Newton, Massachussetts

Emily Venanzi is an active member of our Medical Commitee (with particular involvement in the Research Review Panel selecting which research projects to fund) as well as our Research Accelaration Committee. As a patient, she is an interesting case, as she "jumped" straight on a clinical trial as her first line of treatment, which she's still currently on. We interviewed Emily to find out more about her, her background, and what research developments give her the most hope for the future.
