Not everyone’s first-ever summer job was like Henry Gerad’s.
As a 14-year-old in New York City, he worked in the summer as a lab technician in the cancer research lab at Mt. Sinai Hospital.
At that time, Dr. Charlotte Friend, known eventually for her discovery of the Friend Leukemia Virus and Friend erythroleukemia cells, conducted medical research in that lab.
That summer job sparked the young man’s interest in medicine, specifically hematology and oncology.
