    SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

    I am currently very interested in RNA biochemistry and in the hypothesis of a RNA world. Especially methods of in vitro evolution of aptamers, ribozymes and enzymes with desired function attracted my attention. Nevertheless I am very eager to increase my knowledge in various disciplines of molecular biology and I have not yet decided on a particular field.
