Science is telling us that we can do phenomenal things if we put our minds and our resources to it.
It is an indescribable experience knowing that what you are doing will have an impact on the lives... of millions of people.
I believe I have a personal responsibility to make a positive impact on society.
The worst potential bio-terrorist is nature itself.
We feel confident that there won't be an outbreak.
There cannot be any impediment to science that will ultimately be good to the general public.
The world is a place that is so interconnected that what happens in another part of the world will impact us.
I think, collectively, we should be paying more attention to what is going on around us in the world among people who dont have the advantages that we have.

You help someone's health, and you prevent them from infecting others.
We feel confident that there won't be an outbreak.

One of the by-products of being a perfectionist and constantly trying to improve myself are sobering feelings of low-grade anxiety and a nagging sense of inadequacy This anxiety keeps me humble.
I enjoy very much communication. I think that scientists need to communicate.
When a company is fairly certain of a profit margin that is substantial, it can assume responsibility for the clinical trials to develop a blockbuster drug.
Activism has been very productive in our society.

The immune systems goal is to protect the body against invaders either from without, such as microbes, or from within, such as cancers and different types of neoplastic transformation.
When you put someone on therapy, you lower the level of virus such that it makes it very difficult for them to infect others.
Today we know the best way to prevent the spread of Ebola infection is through public health measures.
Investigating rare diseases gives researchers more clues about how the healthy immune system functions.
When I was a child, there were not that many vaccines. I was vaccinated for polio. I actually got measles as a child. I got pertussis, whooping cough. I remember that very well.
We are grateful to the Liberian people who volunteered for this important clinical trial and encouraged by the study results seen with the two investigational Ebola vaccine candidates.
There has been treatment for hepatitis C, but the treatment has not been overwhelmingly effective, number 1. And number 2, it has had considerable toxicity.
The Europeans have lots of data on the use of adjuvanted flu vaccine in the elderly, but I dont think anybody has really good data on adjuvants in children.
The nature of a protective immune response to HIV is still unclear. Because in a very, very unique manner, unlike virtually any other microbe with which we're familiar, the HIV virus has evolved in a way that the immune system finds it very difficult, if not impossible, to deal with the virus.
