"While my own background is financial, I have always had an interest in furthering the interests of science education and research. BrightFocus' mission supports excellent science and fosters the continuing development of young medical researchers. I jumped at the chance to work with the team at BrightFocus. They do what interests me while curing some of the most difficult scourges of my generation."
