SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - May 29, 2013) - Atossa Genetics, Inc.
WHAT:
Based on true events, Decoding Annie Parker follows a 15-year war waged on both scientific and emotional fronts by a pair of women demonstrating extreme bravery under pressure. Annie Parker (Samantha Morton), who lost her mother and sister to breast cancer is diagnosed with the disease, displaying a force of spirit that belies the odds. Elsewhere, geneticist Mary-Claire King (Helen Hunt) is researching the idea of an undiscovered link between DNA and cancer, a process that finds her scrambling for both funding and the support of her disbelieving colleagues.
