Neurobiology and Reproductive Biology

The Neurobiology and Reproductive Biology Research Group investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative and reproductive disorders through integrated molecular, cellular, computational and organismal approaches. In neurobiology, our research focuses on oxidative stress, synaptic dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment and neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. We combine bioinformatics, medicinal chemistry, cell culture, 3D disease models and Drosophila melanogaster to identify novel therapeutic targets and evaluate neuroprotective phytochemicals and synthetic compounds. In reproductive biology, we investigate cell adhesion and inflammatory signaling at the maternal–fetal interface to understand pregnancy-associated disorders.
