  There’s a disease that causes your brain to calcify, and I am working on a disease that causes your bone to get so dense you can’t make blood anymore (did you know your blood is made in your bones? I always think that’s weird), and I’m working on a disease where you can’t make immune cells called neutrophils.

  Currently I’m not researching a particular type of disease. I study the most fundamental questions like how new genes emerge, and how new functions are developed and preserved in the genome.
  
  When I was an undergraduate, I was doing research on lung cancer and trying to find a cure.
