When his friends were preparing for their degrees, medicine was the last thing on Rojeet’s mind. It wasn’t until a bad case of typhoid that he realized the importance of laboratory science. Inspired by the treatment he received, he chose to work at a general and leprosy hospital – which further cemented his love for laboratory medicine. In his own words, “At the age of 22, I was fully determined to be a laboratory professional for the rest of my life.” Today, Rojeet is a technical director at Indiana’s Patients Choice Laboratories and has over 20 international awards to his name.
