SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

For several years my research was dedicated to searching for novel molecules with the capacity to make tumor cells more sensitive to chemotherapy. I would like to continue working in the anti-cancer drug design field and make my contribution to humanity’s constant search for the cure. Besides oncology and biochemistry, I am also interested in molecular biology and immunology.
