SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Today’s medicine copes with a restricted number of disorders while the lives of many patients and their relatives get significantly harder due to incurable conditions. I believe that the use of stem cells can help many of them and improve our knowledge about our body. In the future, I desire to develop stem cell therapies and tissue engineering as well as study organization and regeneration of body and diseases related to them at the molecular and cellular levels. Focusing on cell, tissue and organ formation by stem cells, I dream to come closer to the real time control of cell behavior in morphogenesis and to implicate it into medical practice.
