SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Finding all fields of molecular biology highly fascinating I consider different opportunities to develop my future research interests. Currently I am particularly interested in the fields of microbiology and immunology. I am fascinated by the way how pathogens can cause diseases and how the sickened organism (especially the human organism) reacts to avoid and fight the infection. My main goal is to get a deeper knowledge in a wide range of fields of molecular biology.
