The entire MaxCyte commercial team came together for a much overdue opportunity to connect and collaborate in person

To strengthen our commitment to patients, we were honored to have Emily Whitehead and Tom Whitehead from the Emily Whitehead Foundation as two of our distinguished guests. Sharing their story, passion, and energy was inspirational as we support our partners to develop and deliver more robust and accessible gene and cell therapies worldwide.

We celebrate Emily being 10 years cancer-free and will continue to work closely with the Emily Whitehead Foundation to support the patients following in her footsteps. MaxCyte is proud to be a sponsor of September’s Emily Whitehead Foundation Believe Ball, and look forward to witnessing the transformation of healthcare and the value that these innovative medicines will bring to patients.
