And, you know, along your journey, who were some of your mentors and what advice are they providing your career path?

Yeah, you know, because I was a doctor from Ohio who trained in a medical school that really wasn't focused on research.

My medical school is now named Northeastern Ohio Medical University.

It was called Neo-Ucom at the time.

But this school was created to create primary care docs.

And there I was wanting to be a researcher.

So I was kind of a fish out of water.
