Research areas

Central nervous system pharmacology and neuropsychopharmacology

Research on synthetic and natural compounds affecting the central nervous system, including mechanisms related to alcohol, neurotransmitter systems, neuropathic pain, and the potential use of selected compounds in affective disorders.

Drug metabolism and transport across biological barriers

Research covers xenobiotic‑metabolising enzymes, transporters, and the passage of compounds across the blood–brain barrier, including CYP, ADH and ALDH enzymes and the MDCK‑MDR1 model.

Cardiometabolic pharmacology

Research addresses diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension and their complications, including the coexistence of metabolic and depressive disorders and the effects of selected compounds on disease mechanisms.

Anticancer pharmacology and drug delivery

In vitro studies examine the anticancer activity of new molecules and derivatives, as well as materials and formulations for controlled drug release.

Clinical pharmacology and medication safety

Research covers adverse drug reaction monitoring, drug interactions, antibiotic use, postoperative pain management, and medicines for patients receiving enteral nutrition.
