The main interest of my research are the mechanisms active during preclinical stages of Parkinson’s Disease. These are both mechanisms leading to the neuronal death as well as those compensating for deficits in the brain dopaminergic system, masking early disease symptoms. Our studies in animal models focus on describing mechanisms leading to the neuroprotective and disease modifying strategies.
