My research focuses on the molecular mechanisms that underlie neurodegenerative diseases and depression, with a particular interest in the converging pathways that may drive these conditions.
To explore these connections, my lab investigates receptor dynamics as a central theme. We study processes such as receptor trafficking, oligomerization, protein-protein interactions, signaling, and sorting, which are fundamental to understanding how cellular communication and function are altered in both healthy and diseased states.
By integrating molecular, cellular, and whole-organism perspectives, we aim to shed light on the fundamental mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases and depression, with the ultimate goal of identifying potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
Currently, I teach Neurobiology as part of the Master's Programme in Molecular Medicine, as well as Biological Psychiatry under the Master's Programme in Medicine.
Beyond classroom instruction, I supervise Master's and PhD students on research projects that span various aspects of molecular biology and neuroscience.
