Polio. Not long after Henriettaâs death, planning began for a HeLa factoryâa massive operation that would grow to produce trillions of HeLa cells each week. It was built for one reason: to stop polio.
These cells were then cultured by George Otto Gey to create the cell line known as HeLa, a line which is still used for medical research. The descendant of slaves and their white masters, Henrietta grew up in rural Virginia. After giving birth to two of their children, she married her cousin David Day Lacks.
