      Hey Mary, thanks for your question! Unfortunately we’re not looking at any illnesses directly. However, we are generally looking of how all genes are expressed, so how you get proteins from a gene. Without proper expression of genes, cells and therefore the worms we look at wouldn’t grow and live. Same goes for humans! That’s why I think our research is important. Sorry for blabbering on, but I hope I answered your question 🙂
