IMPORTANCE, AIMS AND POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF RESEARCH
Most of the malignant proliferations that affect the central nervous system are of
metastatic origin. The evolution and progess of cancer metastasis is a complex and not
entirely understood process. One crucial condition is that tumor cells must get through
the blood-brain barrier. Part of the neurovascular unit the first defense line is the bloodbrain
barrier, which allows transfer of nutrients and prohibits the entrance of harmful
substances. Structural, morphologic and nanomechanical analysis of cells that form this
unit constitutes the central theme of my research work, based on methods of atomic force
microscopy complemented with Raman spectroscopy. Direct measurement of intercellular
adhesion and affinity can bring us closer to the understanding of this phenomenon, which
offers pharmacological and therapeutic possibilities.
AMBITIONS AND CAREER GOALS
During my university studies i would like to aquire medical knowledge as extensive as
possible in the interest of offering the best care to the patients. I would like to accomplish
this goal through my research and practical medical application both domestically and
abroad.
