SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

My scientific interests include protein and cellular biochemistry. I am particularly fascinated by how protein-protein interaction and signaling forms the basis of cell function and survival. I hope the experience and knowledge that I gain during my further studies will enable me to unravel the mystery behind this huge interconnected array of biomolecules and the underlying mechanism, thus allowing me a better insight into cell biology.
