SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS
Even though biology offers a vast range of interesting topics, I am currently most attracted by topics like protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions, RNAi, the correlation of protein structure and function, cellular control mechanisms and related topics. I hope I can learn about many more fascinating aspects of biology by participating in this program and enjoy intense, research-oriented teaching, which will prepare me for my future career.
