Evaluation of the cellular and molecular aspects of the morphological and functional remodeling of the heart and kidney under stressful conditions, and determination of new therapeutic targets.
Research axes:
1- Heart: Cardiac dysfunction - Fibrosis - Senescence - Oxidative stress - Therapeutic targets
2- Kidney: Renal dysfunction - Fibrosis - Senescence - Oxidative stress - Therapeutic targets
3- Homeostatic disorders
4- Calcium signaling
