      Well, yes I do! My contribution is a tiny “brick” to the huge “wall” of science, but it still helps to build this wall. If my research is successful, it will produce a new generation of drugs that are intelligent enough to target specific parts of the body, without damaging other healthy parts. Imagine, for example, that instead of giving a cancer patient chemotherapy or radiation therapy (which both damage healthy cells as well), you place tiny droplets in the patient’s body that kill only the cancer cells, leaving the healthy cells undamaged.
