      No, at the moment I’m working on an implant which will help surgeons when they do facial reconstruction operations (like if people have cleft palates, of burn injuries). In the future I’m hoping to move on to work with drugs more. I would like to work on Alzheimers disease, or heart disease if I get the chance. I’m not sure whether I will be able to or not though, as I don’t know much about the brain. Heart disease is more likely!

      Hi. I don’t work on drug development, rather I focus on research that will allow us to give advice to people about their fertility health without the use of drugs. So changing their diet for example.
