SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am interested in various aspects of cellular biology, including mechanisms and regulation of enzymatic reactions, signal transduction pathways in cells, RNA processing and mechanisms of RNAi. Through this program I would like to extend my knowledge in the various fields of molecular and cellular biology.
