It's In The Genes

Science is essentially an attempt to observe and describe the things our limited senses can’t detect or predict.

As technology improves, scientists are privileged observers of inconceivably complex and beautifully orchestrated biological processes.

Free radicals have been blamed for nearly anything that ails us. As a result, people pop vitamin tablets and drink red wine because they contain antioxidants.

In reality, while free radicals can cause damage, our bodies also require them for normal physiological function.

Research in our program at OMRF is designed to understand how highly reactive free radicals exert beneficial and detrimental effects on biological processes. This knowledge can help develop more effective treatments for diabetes, heart disease and neurological diseases.

There’s a lot of failure involved in research. Why persevere? When you see something new, unique and beautiful, you’re hooked. And it’s worth it.

My first ambition? To be a Green Bay Packer. It’s what every kid from Wisconsin wants to be.
