SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS
I am interested in structural and functional analysis of biomolecules, in particular, the study of ligand-receptor interactions and the transfer of this understanding to signaling pathways. I think this program will enable me to deepen and broaden my practical and theoretical knowledge of molecular and structural biology.
