SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

My scientific interest over the past years has been focused on developmental biology, embryology and human reproduction. I am extremely fascinated by human/embryonic development and the importance of developmental research in order to understand diseases as well as the intricate network of cell signaling that makes an organism function. While aiming at expanding my knowledge, I am prepared to be equally fascinated by other fields within the vast world of molecular biology during my time in Göttingen.
