Dr. Hellen Greenblatt is loved the world around for helping so many people in so many ways. Her decades of research as an immunologist and microbiologist has led to breakthrough discoveries that have given thousands of people better health & wellness. As a child of parents who immigrated to New York City after a devastating European war experience, Dr. Hellen Greenblatt's upbringing instilled two primary values and goals: getting the best education possible and helping as many people as possible. |
"My childhood was spent in a tough neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY. My most persistent memory of that time is seeing some of the older neighborhood women laboriously trying to cross the street, stooped over with pain, as drivers impatiently honked their horns and sometimes shouted obscenities. I realized early on that it was not fair that so many people have to suffer so much with limited mobility and pain, and wondered what I could do about it. I decided I wanted to become a scientist and spend my life making a difference for people. I chose being a scientist because physicians help their patients mostly on a one-to-one basis, but as a scientist I felt I could possibly make discoveries that could affect millions for years to come." - Dr. Hellen Greenblatt October 27, 2006
