SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am interested in a wide range of topics including synthetic biology, drug discovery and systems biology. My main interest is analyzing biological networks and developing new tools to study large data-sets. But I would like to explore different aspects of molecular biology before focusing on a specific topic.
