Our team

Our team consists of people with different educational backgrounds, who share a passion for discovering the mechanisms of the action of drugs. The subject of our preclinical research concerns the mechanism of action of psychoactive drugs, especially antidepressants and antipsychotics.

Research methods and models used in our Laboratory are very advanced, diverse, and constantly developed - from cell cultures to transgenic animals, from radioisotope techniques (saturation and competition analyses, receptor autoradiography) to studies of receptor protein interactions in the brain using the PLA technique, in situ hybridization, RT-PCR and miRNA measurements; basically it's hard to list them all.

Our strength is an excellent, well-coordinated, interdisciplinary, and closely cooperating team, which means every new technique is easy for us.
