I have been employed at the Dept. of Veterinary and Animal Sciences since April 2007. from 2013 as Assoc. Prof. in Experimental Pharmacology. My main area of competence is preclinical animal models and their translational potential, with a current emphasis on fatty liver disease (NAFLD), its progression to NASH and hepatic fibrosis, and putative therapeutic modalities. I also have a keen research interest concerning the potential effects of dietary vitamin C particularly in the brain during development. In addition, I collaborate on individual research projects concerning other types of preclinical models of human disease and the assessment of pharmacological and toxicologial effects in vivo, and - to some degree-  effects ex vivo and in vitro.
