      I am fascinated by how microbes can hurt us and make us sick, even causing death, but I am more fascinated in how we can defeat these microbes. Particularly with TB, in 2016 it killed 1.7 million people worldwide, being more deadly than malaria or HIV. I really want to help find drug/vaccines targets against TB, even if to save one persons life!
