Research Topic
Our scientific and research activities are focused on the study of mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of mental disorders, cancer, cardiovascular and neurological diseases as well as metabolic disorders and reproductive dysfunctions. The department consists of three laboratories (Laboratory of Molecular Endocrinology, Laboratory of Pharmacological Neuroendocrinology and Laboratory of Metabolic Regulation) involving four scientific teams.
The main focus of the research is to:
- examine of atypical effects of hormones
- study the nature and function of nuclear receptors in relation to chemoprevention and the therapy of cancer diseases
- study the negative effects of stress in both humans and animals
- reveal the new neurobiological markers of depressive disorder and schizophrenia, evaluating of the effectiveness of new psychotropic drugs
- evaluate the effects of nanoparticles on the endocrine (reproductive) and immune system
- reveal the role of endocrine disruptors, paracrine and autocrine factors in the regulation of ovarian processes
- investigate the role of angiotensin II and oxytocin in the pathogenesis of hypertension and metabolic diseases
- explore the regulatory mechanisms of metabolism and expansion of the adipose tissue
