SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am particularly interested in the fields of molecular genetics and gene therapy and their applications in the treatment of human diseases. During this course, however, I hope to deepen my knowledge in other interesting and promising research areas and make the right decision for my future scientific career.
