Laboratory research objectives are focused on deciphering mechanism of action of chemicals known as endocrine disruptors (ED), which are routinely found in our environment and which are known to interfere with hormone homeostasis. The emphasis is on detecting affected cellular events, signaling pathways, altered gene expression and epigenetic marks.
Main research topics include:
- Impact of ED on reproduction. Impact on reproduction is being assessed by investigating mechanism of ED action in human and rat ovarian steroidogenic granulosa cells and in human spermatozoa. Both signaling and different reproductive parameters are evaluated.
- Impact of ED on development. Impact on development is studied by exposing zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio) to ED and evaluating effects both while in embryonic stage and in adulthood, with the emphasis on gene expression, epigenetics and histology.
- Impact of ED on vascular endothelial cells, both in chronic and acute experimental set ups. Signaling and different cellular events are evaluated.
