SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Neuroscience is a vast interesting field. The nervous system is a complex system that coordinates and regulates the body’s basic functions and activities. I am interested in molecular neurobiology and neurochemistry. I hope to have contributions which would help in gaining more insights into the nervous system which would help us improve our life.
