SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am interested in two different fields. First molecular evolution: I think that the way how life originated and living creatures evolved is really fascinating, almost unbelievable. Second genetics combined with immunology: In that field, I would like to do resarch concerning cancer. I expect to learn many new techniques during the Master`s program. Futhermore, I think that this program will broaden my horizon and lead me to a decision between evolution and genetics.
