SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

My interests in molecular biology are still wide including topics as understanding the genetic factors affecting the development of different diseases as cancer and autoimmune diseases. The field of developmental biology and the use of stem cells to overcome various diseases has also been of great interest to me. I am certain that the Molecular Biology program will increase the depth of my knowledge within the field which will help me settle on a specific area of research.
