SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

The field of molecular biology offers a huge amount of different and very interesting topics. Currently I am mainly interested in cancer research, because it offers a lot of different aspects such as, for example, cell signalling or protein-protein-interactions. During the Master's program I want to improve my skills and find an interesting group for my PhD project.
