Research Interests

Molecular, Cell and Tissue Engineering in the Microcirculation

  • Modeling nano-micro transport phenomena in transvascular, transcelluar and transinterstitial processes
  • Structural mechanisms of acute increase of microvessel permeability
  • Tumor migration and metastasis in vivo and in vitro
  • In vivo permeability studies on single microvessel (microperfusion, quantitative video microscopy, fluorescence microscope photometry and confocal microscopy, image processing)
  • Regulation of vessel permeability by mechanical, physical and chemical stimuli (signal transduction, permeability studies under physiological and pathological conditions)
  • Drug delivery to brain through the Blood-Brain Barrier and the CSF
  • The Blood Brain Barrier permeability and its role in neural functions
  • Mechanosensing and transduction in the microcirculation
  • Stochastic optical resolution microscopy for endothelial cell nanostructure and function
  • Multiphoton microscopy for in vivo brain vascular and tissue transport study

Regenerative medicine for neuro disorders
