By gaining a better understanding of how pathogenic viruses such as influenza, HIV and Ebola function, I hope more effective and accessible treatments will be available for those across the world that need them the most, many of whom are Muslim. These viral infections are often deadly, especially in less economically developed populations. I feel it is incumbent on scientists today to drive forward research into viral biology to ultimately save lives. In my view, to achieve this aim it is essential that the passionate and enthusiastic young Muslims of this country fully understand the importance of this field.
