His death was shocking to many who knew him because he had the ability to bounce back from just about everything. Leukemia was usually no exception. But recently, Lee, who was diagnosed this year with acute myeloid leukemia, was not faring well after three rounds of chemotherapy failed. And despite a bone marrow transplant using stem cells from an umbilical cord — the first of its kind for an adult in Tennessee — Lee could not overcome cancer.

With the new method, in less than two months they were able to find three activating mutations of the tyrosine kinase JAK3 in acute myeloid leukemia cells.
