SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS
I am most interested in virology, cell signalling and protein engineering. I find it fascinating to study the ingenious methods which viruses use to escape the host´s immune system. I am very interested in the molecular background of viruses and their replication. Furthermore I am interested in developing drugs for diseases like AIDS or CJD. After completing my M.Sc. I would like to go for a Ph.D. and work in research.
