Emily Osborn was a graduate of Empire State University, who won honors for her thesis, a proposal for engineering bacteria that could theoretically break down plastic waste, and was known for her philanthropy, especially as it related to environmental causes. She eventually met and fell in love with wealthy businessman Norman Osborn. Together, they had a son, Harold "Harry" Osborn. Emily had a strong bond with Harry, different of his father, who was always busy with Oscorp. She had spearheaded an Oscorp initiative at some point to create research stations placed throughout New York City, designed to monitor the immediate area for health and environmental hazards. She was first diagnosed with Oshtoran Syndrome in 1984, following a series of medical incidents, after which Norman desperately searched for a cure but to no avail, and she eventually passed away. In a statement, Oscorp mentioned that they would honor Emily’s dream by seeing it through. Her funeral was private and restricted to immediate family. Any well-wishers were advised to donate to the Emily Osborn Environmental Fund. Years later, Harry decided to carry on her several environmental research and protection labs to place atop buildings in New York City which would carry on his mother's legacy of environmental welfare studies.[1]
Notes
Before she was eventually diagnosed with Oshtoran Syndrome, Emily was suspected to have been bearing systemic Lupus erythematosus, but after careful diagnostic exclusion, this - along with many other possibilities - was ruled out.[1]
Dr. Morgan Michaels was one of the many physicians who treated Emily.[1]
