Understanding the basics of cell biology, I believe, is vital for an understanding and support for infectious disease research. This is why I left the lab and starting learning about video games. I am the PI on an R25 grant from the NIH, National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases,

Check out this great Immune Attack demonstration video!!
If you would like to see what Immune Attack is exactly like, watch MrKenbinkley’s video of himself playing Immune Attack!
Spoiler alert! This video is better if you are a teacher, and less interesting if you are a PLAYER!
