SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Generally, my interest in molecular biology lies in the wide field of epigenetics. At the moment I find the gene regulation in plants particularly interesting. I hope, however, to learn more about all fields of molecular biology to find out what field I finally want to focus on.
