      I don’t study any of those directly, but the people I work with are really interested in pneumonia: it turns out that pneumonia is caused by lots of different problems in your lungs, so they’ve got a lot to work out in there.

      i have studied a number of different pathogens. TB, Flu, Norovirus, E.coli, HIV, HBV, HCV and irritable bowel syndrome. i have mainly focused on understanding the DNA/RNA to see what is happening to cause disease or to look for specific sequences to identify them.
