SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Holistic approaches for gene discovery, now called "omics" (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics) are particularly appealing to me. I hope to acquire the necessary background in molecular biology to devise experiments and interpret the results generated by these holistic techniques.
