SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Currently I am interested in molecular and cell immunology as well as in cancer immunotherapy as these fields hold a giant potential to be applied in biomedicine to deal with a number of severe diseases. Among my particular interests I can mention the function and structure of signal proteins and their influence on epigenetic and transcriptional regulation of immune cells activity and their failure in cancer.
