IMPORTANCE, AIMS AND POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF RESEARCH<br />
In our research, by bioinformatical methods, we try to identify possible<br />
correlations between the immune system, the personal commensal folra<br />
and different autoimmune, dermatological and cancerous diseases. We use<br />
methods of machine learning in the interest of exploring the different HLAgenotypes,<br />
using large, clinically relevant databases. In order to find the role of<br />
the alleles we also involve allele frequency databases. We think that we can find<br />
clinically relevant correlations in the promiscuity of different HLA-DRB alleles,<br />
and immunmediated diseases, e.g. allergy, asthma, acne. If we understand the<br />
personal immune mechanisms in case of melanoma patients it will lead us steps<br />
forward in the threatment of this disease.<br />
AMBITIONS AND CAREER GOALS<br />
I think that the development of medical sciences is strictly bound to the<br />
development of technology in general. During my career, I would like to be up<br />
to date with the most recent bioinformatical methods and I would like to see<br />
the use of them in the field of clinical researches. I would like to take part and<br />
contribute to the development of modern, personalized medicine.<br />
