SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS
The possibility to explain complex biological phenomena by interactions of macromolecules, and how it can be used to improve our understanding of the endless complexity of life has always been fascinating for me. I am very interested in immunology with an emphasis on infectious diseases. I am also keen to learn more about the variety of molecular mechanisms of signal transduction in cells and try to comprehend the striking number of those pathways necessary for a normal function of a single cell, tissue, organ, and entire organism. Nevertheless, the program offers insight into many different areas of molecular biology, giving me an opportunity to potentially change my scientific focus. It goes without saying that I am looking forward to gain more lab experience, and learn new and exciting techniques used in scientific research
