Eradicate devastating childhood diseases

I decided to become a doctor thirty-five years ago when I was reading a biography of Dr. Albert Schweitzer who worked as a medical doctor at his own expense in Gabon, Africa. I felt that it was my mission to eradicate devastating childhood diseases. Although I was firmly determined, I almost gave up many times. However, so many people have supported me and our research on Wolfram syndrome, juvenile-onset diabetes, and early onset-neurodegeneration is getting a lot of attention right now. Our sincere efforts in the past ten years have started paying off. I feel gratified and blessed.

My goal in the next two years is to find a treatment for Wolfram syndrome and start a clinical trial. I am committed to this task.
