What do you attribute your success to?
- curiosity, and I\'m innovative. When I see a treatment that isn\'t working too well, I find out the core of the disease and what they are doing to effect that. You can tell pretty quickly whether it will be a robust thing or not. I\'ve approached quite a bit that way. I always look at problems as opportunities.
