SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

One of my major interests is the study of metabolic pathways that allow different organisms to degrade or synthesize molecules of specific interest. I am also quite interested in structural biochemistry such as, for example, the relation between structure and function of biomolecules.
