Abstract
My career has not been straightforward. Although I am a chemical engineer, and I'm proud of that, I took a path from chemistry and engineering to one that also involved experimental biology and medicine. This was very unusual many decades ago. In so doing, I met with rejection and ridicule early in my career. However, by going down that path, I was able to make discoveries and inventions that I hope have saved and improved lives, and I've been able to train a great number of people who are going down the road I began traveling over many years ago.
