SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Currently, I am particularly interested in aging, the relation of this process at the molecular and systemic level, and the possible molecules that are mediating this communication. I am also interested in the great potential of applied bioinformatics in all fields of molecular biology, especially protein structure prediction and metabolomics.
