Description of Research Interest

From heart to brain - the impact of cardiovascular diseases on neurodegeneration. We generate transgenic disease models for target identification and target validation in the fields of cardiovascular diseases and neurodegeneration. Our focus lies on the pathophysiological relevance of dysfunctional GPCR signaling and GPCR aggregation.
