The world of drugs, medication and lungs! I work on medical investigations, although fun not quite E.R. The investigations are called clinical trials studies. These are where helpful drugs are tested to see if they have a real difference to real peoples normal lives. As I work in respiratory research the studies I do are with volunteers with Asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Testing all the wierd body fluids you can think of including MUCUS. Yuck! I know but we do this to find markers to see how unwell a patient is and if they are getting better with the trial drugs or if they just are being tricked into feeling better. Ask me to find out more!
