SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I would like to study the mechanisms causing disorders in the nervous system on the molecular and cellular level, for that is where we can find an explanation of the etiology and pathogenesis of nervous diseases. This would enable us to find a more effective treatment so that people suffering from these diseases could be socially adapted and live a productive life.
