Jack Sutherland came into the studio to discuss the upcoming Youth Art Auction and Performance Event taking place on Thursday, June 5, from 6:30pm-9:00 at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. The purpose is to raise money for pediatric cancer research.

The keynote speaker — Dr. Michael Jensen of Seattle Children’s Research Institute — has developed a method of reprogramming the body’s own immune system to kill cancer. This technique of genetically re-engineering an individual’s T cells has proven to be safe and effective in the laboratory.  Come and meet Dr. Michael Jensen and hear about his fantastic research on Immunotherapy and meet one of his success stories.
