Kirsty Smitten, a top British scientist who was included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, was diagnosed with a rare heart cancer after doctors initially believed that she had just pulled a muscle. She was told that there was a 68% chance that she would die within the next year. Despite the devastating detection, she is still continuing to work on her business, MetalloBio, which is working to develop a new class of antibiotics.
