SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am interested in the regulation between different pathways, especially in the interplay between primary and secondary metabolism in plants and microbes. Moreover, the regulation between different pathways, the medical and industrial applications of metabolites, bioinformatics tools and resources for mata-analysis are also fascinating for me. My goal is to have better understanding about metabolites and give contribution to improve our lives.
