SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

My particular interests lie in the regulation of gene expression and metabolism, membrane trafficking, immunology and developmental biology and their role in malignancy, especially carcinogenesis. The explicit understanding of the molecular processes involved in disease will lead to new approaches of healing and that is what I am eager to work on.
