Forschung für ein langes Leben: Die „National Institutes of Health“ sind ein Verbund aus medizinischen Einrichtungen in den USA mit Hauptsitz in Bethesda, Maryland. Eine besondere Rolle nimmt dabei das „Clinical Center“ in Gebäude 10 ein. Hier werden neue Medikamente und Therapiemaßnahmen zum ersten Mal am Menschen getestet – für viele schwer kranke Patienten die letzte Hoffnung. Denn bei Leukämie oder anderen gravierenden Erkrankungen stößt selbst die moderne Medizin an Grenzen. Die Dokumentarserie blickt erstmals hinter die Kulissen der Forschungsklinik und begleitet Ärzte wie Wissenschaftler bei ihrer Mission, mit innovativen Behandlungsmethoden lebensgefährliche Krankheiten zu heilen.
