SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am interested in improving my research knowledge and experience. I think that molecular biology gives us the tools to understand the molecular mechanism of disease. By using this information we can develop new alternatives to treat complex diseases that threaten mankind. I want to do research related to the medical field. My areas of interest are genetics, oncology and infectious diseases.
