Research interests
1.Synthetic Biology
Synthetic biology not only encompasses the developing of novel functions in simple organisms but is growing at an ever increasing pace to provide the community with highly efficient and economic tools that could make living better. These include synthetic products for the pharm industry including conditionally active drugs capable of targeting specific molecules inside the body to cosmetic products. Several labs are also focusing on the development of biofuels to counter the increase in consumption of renewable sources of energy.
All in all I would be really interested in developing a career in the field of synthetic biology. Of my specific interest is the applied work in the field where synthetic biological parts/devices are introduced into human cells that could lead to medical benefits by silencing or activating certain genes that would be relevant to a certain disease condition.
