SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS
I have broad interests and I am presently open to new ideas and fields of research. I would like to work towards my PhD and beyond in areas that are challenging and are essentially inter-disciplinary in nature. Some of my present areas of interest are RNA dynamics, especially ribozymes, drug delivery systems, regulation of gene expression, Cellular Organization Dynamics involving studies on gene expression, signal transduction, membrane trafficking and the role of cytoskeletal networks, molecular mechanisms of vesicular protein transport, protein targeting, functional genomics, molecular biology of cancer, protein folding, DNA repair and molecular modelling with some mathematical component.
