In order to explain my research interests in detail, it would take to much space and time. So I have decided to use keywords to introduce my field of studies:

The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB)

- Designing and Developing BBB models in order to be capable to predict permeability of substances through the BBB.

- For which kinds of transport ways are our models useful ?
passive transport, active transport systems

- Tightness characterisation of cell layers

- Comparison of published in vivo data for BBB permeability of substances with permeability data of our models

- Characterisation of our BBB models and cell lines under different conditions
  (e.g. shear stress, inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases)



Mainly used analytics:
HPLC, Capillary Gel Electrophoresis, MS (Maldi-TOF), Fluorimetry, Protein analysis (Western blotting, Immunofluorescence), CLSM, ESEM, TEM, SEM
