Question: have you done any research that would help doctors enough to be able to save a person's life?

I’m not into research as I specialise in diagnosing disease. However, I did have to do a research project for my masters degree.
I worked out a way of staining samples of gallbladder to grade how much the cells had changed – this could potentially help people as if we can screen people we can see when changes are happening before the disease takes place- this would could save lives in the future.
I think this is where a lot of research is going now- it’s working out patterns of disease so we can predict who may get it before they do – like Angelina Jolie when she had her breast removed to prevent her form getting breast cancer . If we can screen individuals then we can prevent and stop a disease before it happens- this would save loads if lives!
