SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I would like to apply my experience in molecular biology to medical research and diagnostics, especially in the area of viral diseases or tumour development. My other interests include bioinformatics and genomics. I still don't know which path I will pursue in the future, but I certainly want to be involved in scientific research and I also hope to have some part in the popularization of biological science.
