SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Up to this point, I see my research interests in the mechanisms of how cells organize themselves, live, age and die, as well as different sections in the field of neuroscience. I am looking forward to the input of my MSc study program to find my very place in medical and life science research.
