Stephen has harbored a shared interest in research and medicine for many years—stretching as far back as the sixth grade, when he tried to set up a chemistry lab bench in his basement (luckily the house didn’t blow up!). For intimately personal reasons, he is interested in the development and treatment of allergies and other autoimmune diseases. He also finds time to dabble in numerous hobbies; including sailing, medieval history, city exploration, and rich chocolate.
