title: Biological redox systems and oxidative stress.
abstract: This account revolves around fascination and excitement with science. Early curiosity and fortunate opportunities can lead to a satisfying career. The privilege of performing basic research in biochemistry and molecular biology at a university coupled with teaching motivated students and working with dedicated co-workers makes for sustained thrust in the advance of knowledge. Research fields centered around cellular redox systems, oxidants and antioxidants, and the concept of oxidative stress. A noteworthy aspect is the global network of scientists joining in these endeavors worldwide.
