A short summary of the scientific work carried out by the research group:
Our working group studies the molecular regulation, physiological and pathophysiological role, and pharmacology of TRP ion channels. We primarily investigate the expression, function and role of TRP channels in physiological and pathological conditions in in vitro systems, on different primary cells and cell lines.
The focus of our interest is the investigation of the role played by heat-sensitive TRP channels in somatosensory functions and inflammatory processes, primarily in the cells of human skin and dental pulp.
