“I chose science and medicine because of my attraction to public service and my desire to use science for humanitarian purposes. I feel strongly that there is no higher calling than science for the sake of human health. For those who aspire to commit their lives to biomedical research, they should appreciate and embrace this concept as it will serve as an extraordinary energizing force as they pursue their individual career paths.”
