Research Interests
- Anti-inflammatory drugs; pharmacology and novel mechanisms of action
- Inflammation, especially the roles of MAP-kinase/phosphatase pathways, TRP
- channels and of iNOS/nitric oxide pathway, cytokines and eicosanoids in inflammatory lung diseases, in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and in allergic diseases
- Nitric oxide in diagnostics and as a target of drug development
- Adipokines in inflammatory diseases - Applications for prevention and drug treatment
