Research Overview
The research at the department of Pharmacology and Toxicology is dedicated to a variety of exciting topics to understand both disease mechanisms and physiological processes at the cellular and molecular level. Our broad research interests span several areas, including the molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, inflammatory processes, various aspects of obesity-related health risks, signaling in the vasculature and degenerative joint disease.
The common goal of our interdisciplinary team of scientists from different disciplines is to gain an in-depth understanding of disease mechanisms to develop innovative approaches for prevention, diagnosis and therapy.
