This Morning we interviewed Dr Dormitzer
Dr. Dormitzer is senior director or Viral Vaccine Research at Novartis Vaccines and diagnostics.
Education: Dr. Dormitzer is a physician and a Structural Virologist. Dr Dormitzer received his medical degree at StanfordUniversity where he met his mentor Dr. Harry Greenberg and began his path of discovering the intricacies of the Rotavirus.
In developing countries Rotavirus can be the cause of death for up to 6 percent of the young children. A fact like that is why doctors such as Dr Philip Dormitzer work so hard. As an idealistic young man, Dr. Dormitzer decided he would fix that issue and get to the bottom of such a scourge on the health of children worldwide. As a more seasoned well decorated Doctor, Dr. Dormitzer has never lost that strength of conviction. He works everyday to find the results that can eradicate such issues. By taking the basic knowledge of viruses and “kicking it up a notch� Dr. Dormitzer has successfully mapped the structure of the virus as a whole and its independent parts. This result is a level of understanding that is second to none. Having just finished tax season we all could say I don’t understand all the rules I just know it comes to an end result. Well, most people don’t understand all the workings of viruses such as rotavirus: Dr Dormitzer does! Today’s interview was an amazing look into the high level studies being performed around the world. And it was a chance to hear from one of the world renowned experts it the field. If you really wanted to understand the tax system, you would call someone who rights the tax law. If you want to know how viruses work and how they can be stopped, you go to no one other than the expert Dr Dormitzer. Listen to the podcast; I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.
