SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

During my bachelor thesis and my internship at the department of Neurobiology I got an insight into the field of neurobiology. To me, neurobiology is very fascinating because of the complexity of the processes and the fact that there are still a lot of uncertainties and undiscovered aspects about it. Having said that, I don’t want to commit myself to one scientific field yet because I want to keep my mind open for other interesting topics and the possibility to work on different projects.
