SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

As molecular biology offers vast possibilities in research my interests focuses on the following aspects: I would like to find out more about cancer research (onkogenes), about brain function (how do we explain memory), embryonic pattern formation in Drosophila, the immune system and signal transduction cascades in higher eucaryots. In addition to that there must be a chance to build up new drugs when knowing the human genome sequence. My goal is to learn as much as possible in these different sectors and to find a project I like to work on.
