SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

My major research interest is in investigating molecular bases and progression mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD, Down Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy. Considering the complex nature of these conditions, I want to employ systems biology and ‘omics’ approach in combination with molecular biology to better understand these disorders.
