Interests
Keeping it very short, I am at the stage where I want to focus on immediate translational research, specifically, diagnostic applications of molecular techniques. In near future, I want to be able to do more substantial research on molecular virology, which I believe is necessary for a good foundation for my eventual interest in molecular oncology.
