SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Currently, am interested in the application of molecular biology in medical research and therapeutics. I am interested in epigenetics and post-translational modifications and how they relate to developmental aberrations and disease. With that said, I am excited about expanding my horizons by learning new techniques and discovering new interests and passions.
