RESEARCH
INTERESTS:
Adult
stem cell plasticity, neuronal stem cell research
Our
goal is to develop and test animal models for the autologous transplantation
of adult bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) or their in vitro treated derivatives
into the adult central nervous system with the eventual aim of treating
disorders in animal models of selected neurological disorders.
Regulation
of neuronal gene expression
Our
goal is to investigate the mechanisms of the regulation of the gene
expression of selected neuronal genes under physiological, pathophysiological
and experimental conditions in vivo and in vitro.
Pathophysiology
of Alzheimer's disease
Our
goal is to investigate the role(s) of microglia in the development of
this disease.
