• Question: Have you wanted to be an immuno-pharmacologist ever since you were a child? If not, why not and why'd you change your mind?

      Hi 409prmc25,

      🙂 To be honest I had no idea what a immuno-pharmacologist was until I was in my final year of my Undergraduate degree. So, not ever since I was a child 🙁
      I always wanted to become a medic. However, during my undergraduate project research module I became fascinated at how the immune system works and the effects of drugs. This is what motivated me to pursue this field, and completely changed my perception of medicine too. Our body naturally creates so many chemicals, and protects itself against foreign antibodies, its unbelieveable! So, having found out all of this it changed my mind, and I wanted to become a immuno-pharmacologist (I wish I knew all of this before I started studying at university).

      Hope this answers your question.

      Best Wishes,

      Vedia
