Research supervisor:
Allan Kalueff
PhD, DSc
Supervisor’s research interests:
We utilize animal models (rodents and especially zebrafish) to study neurobiological and molecular mechanisms of the brain, and their pharmacological correction. We create animal models of various complex brain disorders, including both psychiatric and neurological. We apply cell technologies to dissect the role of neurons and neuroglia in these mechanisms, with a specific focus on stress and neuroinflammation. We also study brain-altering drugs and how they affect brain functions on behavioral, neurochemical, genetic, genomic and epigenetic levels. Our lab is also involved in CNS drug screening and discovery.
Research highlights:
Our lab is a fast-paced research team actively publishing in esteemed international journals. We collaborate with multiple international colleagues (China, UK, US, Brazil).
