SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

The field of signaling pathways and their connections to a variety of cellular processes keeps fascinating me. It is remarkably interesting, not only for a general understanding, but even more for the development of future applications fighting against neural and physiological diseases. My goal is to gain deeper insights into these topics and further broaden my knowledge in other fields and techniques of molecular biology.
