SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Now my interest lies in mechanisms of development and signaling, especially in developmental neuroscience and synaptic transmission. I think that structure-function relationships and the dynamics of biomolecules will play an important role in my study. I also hope to conduct some research with an interdisciplinary background.
