SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am interested in the regulation of gene expression, especially as it pertains to illnesses such as cancer and genetic diseases, or even viral infections. During my master’s program I am especially looking forward to learning more about cancer research, immunology, virology, and bioinformatics. In the future I would like to participate in fundamental research relating to biomedicine.
