Main research interests
- Carbon monoxide as a gasotransmitter for promoting cytoprotection and homeostasis in Central Nervous System
- Cerebral ischemia and reperfusion events – ischemic stroke and perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
- Biomarker for stroke diagnostics
- Implication of cell metabolism on cell survival and function, namely neuronal function, neuroinflammatory activity of microglia and astrocytic homeostasis
- Biological role of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) - potential protective function
- Peroxisome biology and its implications in redox sihnaling, metabolism and inflammation
- Crosstalk between apoptosis, autophagy and cell differentiation
- Mitostasis – mitochondrial homeostasis – controlled balance between mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial function and mitophagy (elimination of damaged mitochondria)
- Molecular mechanisms underlying preconditioning-induced cytoprotection, in particular remote ischemic conditioning
