SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

My current interest is in protein structure and function. I am sure that in the future we will be able to cure almost any disease by studying an underlying cause on the protein level, and following with the rational drug design. My aim is to further my understanding of protein physics, acquire new ‘wet lab’ and in silico techniques as a part of my master degree here to become an active member of scientific community in this field.
