Participation in Working Groups

  • WG4 - Mechanobiological principles of rare and common diseases

Research Interests

-brain ageing
-synaptic plasticity
-neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative disease (especially Alzheimer’s disease)
-cholesterol metabolism
-interventions that delay ageing and age-related disorders (dietary restriction, omega-3 fatty acid, metformin...)

Technologies offered to other EuroCellNet participants

-Cell culture (primary neuronal culture, cell line)
-In vivo models of neurodegenerative disease (6-OHDA model of Parkinson’s disease, 5xFAD model of Alzheimer disease) short and long term dietary restriction model
-RNA, DNA, protein isolation, PCR, RT-PCR, western blot, immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry, brain structure isolation, stereotactic surgery

Technologies sought from other EuroCellNet participants

-Interesting in any technique that would enable better understanding of neurodegenerative processes
