RESEARCH AREA:

  • physiological role of tissue integrity and glial cells in the developing cerebellum
  • transcriptional and translational changes of different hormone receptors in response to their  different exogenous endocrine disruptors (EDs) in cerebellar cell cultures
  • effects of EDs on the developing nervous system
  • role of glial cells in relation to the above aspects
