SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am very interested in the molecular biological aspects of multi-cellular organism development, such as the proteomic and epigenetic basis of cell differentiation and maintenance, pathways of cell aging and apoptosis in whole organism, the nature of early intercellular signals which coordinate body formation etc. Through this program I would like to advance my knowledge in these fields of research.
