Research

The main research topics include:

Investigating alterations in energy metabolism and energy transfer during cancer development. Research is conducted using human colorectal and breast cancer clinical samples, as well as cancer cell culture models.
Studying the regulation of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and integrated cellular energy transfer networks in muscle cells.
Investigating whether, and how, chronic disease-related metabolic changes are reflected in the energy metabolism of blood cells, with a particular focus on platelets as a model system.
Improving the physiological relevance and reliability of cell culture models for disease research by optimizing growth conditions.
Modeling and investigating oxidative stress in cancer, cardiac, and neuronal cell culture models.
