David Strange had an enviable life to look forward to.

A winner of the prestigious Wellcome Prize he was completing his doctoral thesis at Oxford University, and contemplating a career as a biomedical research scientist, when those hopes for a bright future were cruelly dashed.

"It really was a case of one day talking to my doctoral supervisor and suddenly seeing a bunch of nasty, hairy, disgusting rat-like things running around all over the office, and over my feet. I was sure they were coming to get me and eat me alive. My time at Oxford simply imploded."
