SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

My interest in molecular biology developed through my fascination in genetics and this wide topic is still what excites me most. However, during this Master’s program I hope to get in touch with different fields of molecular biology and I am curious which area I will finally want to focus on.
