Pharmacology & Molecular Microbiology
We are a passionate group of researchers, both in the basic and clinical fields. Our main focus is understanding the molecular mechanisms behind important biological processes impacting human health and survival. These processes include autophagy, iron and sphingolipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and cell death. We study these processes in various model organisms, from yeast to humans, to gain a deeper understanding. Our ultimate goal is to apply this knowledge to improve patient outcomes through clinical research. In addition to our work on biological processes, we evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of biomedical technology, particularly drugs, in preventing and treating diseases. We pay special attention to analyzing drug usage patterns to ensure they are implemented logically and appropriately. The group actively participates in national or international multicenter clinical trials to develop new medications in different areas of interest.
