Cardiovascular and metabolic research group

 

Projects

• Studies on the role of extracellular vesicles
  • Studying the role of EVs in cardioprotective interventions
  • Studying the role of EVs in metabolic co-morbidities of cardiac diseases
  • Studying the role of EVs in ischemic conditioning
• Studies on the mechanisms and therapies of the cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury
  • Effects of pharmacons on cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury: hidden cardiotoxicity
  • Effect of metabolic comorbidities (diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, etc.) on cardioprotective interventions against ischemia/reperfusion injury
• Identification of cardioprotective targets in ischemic heart disease and its comorbidities
  • Investigation of the role of neuropeptides in cardioprotection in in vitro and in vivo systems
  • Identification of drug targets for ischemic heart disease with bioinformatic target prediction followed by experimental validation of predicted targets
