      I hope so! I research a genetic change that affects 25% of people which means they are more likely to have cardiovascular disease and strokes. So if I can work out why this is, a way to prevent the increased risk of illness can be made. So a lot of people!!

      Hopefully so!

      Thousands of people suffer from C. Diff in England per year, so worldwide a lot more

      If my results can improve how these patients are managed/treated then a lot of people will be affected!
