SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS
Through this MSc/PhD program, I intend to deepen my knowledge as well my research abilities in the biological sciences, since I want to become an academic and a researcher at a university. The biological fields that I find most interesting are structural biology and genomics. I would also like to explore the underlying molecular processes in different human diseases like cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
