      I wish I had a big scientific breakthrough of my own but I don’t, I guess it depends what your idea of big breakthrough is.

      I have worked on a few here drugs have reached the patients and my most memorable, so I guess my greatest, was helping a group who found a medicine which stopped people being sick while on chemotherapy, not a big breakthrough but significant for the patients.

      It was one of the first; it may have been the first not sure as it was a long time ago, but was a real breakthrough. I think there are a few on the market nowadays though.
