  I’ve not actually created any medicines yet. It’s a very long road from discovering something that would be a good medicine in the lab to actually making it into something that people can take. There is a lot of testing that happens to make sure that it works well, that the body can absorb it properly and that it is safe. One of my most exciting discoveries so far is some plant extracts that we are hoping to turn into a nasal spray or inhaler to use as a medicine. I hope to one day see these be turned into something that people can use.
