      I know a fair amount as I am trying to develop drugs to kill bacteria that would need to be taken by humans, so it is important to understand how they can effect humans too. I also used to work in cancer research so studied human cells in that work. I wouldn’t choose a career in medicine as I prefer research in a lab rather than physically treating sick people. You need both scientists in the lab and medical doctors working together to help cure sick people.
