      No I haven’t discovered a skin disease directly. Although, I was involved in discovering a mutation in a gene called AAGAB that we believe is the causative mutation in a patient that has a rare skin disease.

      Sure I’d like to have a bacterium named after me, but none of those nasty ones!
