Cell Biology and Molecular studies for MD-PhD Student
The project will have a significant impact on the field of neuroprotection both at the basic and applicative levels. We expect to gain fundamental knowledge on neuroprotection mechanisms from the molecular up to organ levels. P2Y-receptors have been scarcely studied as targets for neuroprotection. Nucleotide analogues have not been studied before as biocompatible antioxidants. In addition, our concept of dual-action neuroprotective substances is unique.
We search for blood-brain-barrier (BBB)-permeable neuroprotective agents that are both antioxidants and P2Y-Rreceptor agonists. These agents are based on metabolically stable nucleotide analogues, for some of which we have already demonstrated both high antioxidant activity.
The Project has cell biologic and molecular spectrum of methods.
The project is for PhD or MD students.
