Science! post #1
In deference to those of you who have not yet responded with wild acclaim to my offer of summary posts detailing my graduate work, I shall do you the magnanimous favor of placing my reasoned and learned discourse behind a cut. Also, this way ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

sfeldon... I promise I'll try reducing some of this to haiku form. It'll certainly be easier than writing in sonnet verse.
In short, I work on the body's immune response to infection by Helicobacter pylori, the bacterium that is the root cause of 95% of all stomach and duodenal ulcers in humans, and the only living organism classified as a carcinogen. I'll take you through my graduate world in stages.
One last warning: I can be a snarky wit, at times. Don't take offense at a 'folksy' tone or a simplified example (there'll be a lot of those). I'm pitching this fairly broadly.
( Herewith, the basic microbiology of Helicobacter pylori. )
Questions? Let 'em rip.
