- Graduate school interests
I am interested in cell signaling that are really important for cell growth and migration. The cell signaling has a close relationship with some diseases such as cancer. That's why I want to learn deeply about cell signaling pathways and I want to discover new therapeutic targets to prevent the cancer.
I am currently working and learning deeply about on ICH staining and qPCR technique to investigate the gene expression.- Outside the classroom
