SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am most interested in molecular genetics. I want to work on the organization of the genome. I am interested in protein-protein interactions, protein folding and signal transduction, interactions of molecules with DNA and RNA. My goal is to work in a variety of environments after I received my Ph.D.
