Specializations

Cardiovascular & Renal Medicine

Investigator advances therapeutic approaches for heart failure, atrial fibrillation and advanced chronic kidney disease, aiming to lower cardiovascular mortality and slow renal decline.

  • Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
  • Atrial fibrillation in dialysis patients
  • SGLT2‑inhibitor combination therapy

Work integrates anticoagulation strategies, neurohormonal modulation, and renal‑protective agents.

Oncology & Cancer Therapeutics

Focus lies on innovative treatments for solid tumours such as colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, and triple‑negative breast cancer, as well as rare malignancies like glioblastoma and cutaneous malignant melanoma.

  • Adjuvant immunotherapy in melanoma
  • Targeted chemotherapy augmentation
  • Biomarker‑driven therapy selection

Research emphasizes precision medicine, combination regimens, and long‑term survival outcomes.

Neurology & Neuroimmunology

Investigator addresses neurodegenerative and neuroimmune disorders including multiple sclerosis, glioblastoma, generalized myasthenia gravis, and schizophrenia spectrum disorder, exploring disease‑modifying and immunomodulatory interventions.

  • Ocrelizumab efficacy in multiple sclerosis
  • Rituximab for psychotic disorders
  • Cladribine in myasthenia gravis

Efforts target immune pathway modulation and neuroprotective outcomes.

Infectious Diseases & Immunization

Research encompasses antimicrobial strategies for multidrug‑resistant urinary tract infections, vaccine‑related immunity against HPV, measles and varicella‑zoster, and antiviral assessment in tick‑borne encephalitis.

  • Alternative antibiotics for ESBL‑producing pathogens
  • HPV vaccination coupled with screening
  • Remdesivir efficacy in tick‑borne encephalitis

Studies aim to improve treatment safety, reduce resistance, and enhance vaccine‑induced protection.

Metabolic & Endocrine Disorders

Investigator contributes to management of type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and related metabolic complications, evaluating agents that affect insulin secretion, glucose control, and cardiovascular risk.

  • Insulin secretion enhancement in new‑onset type 1 diabetes
  • SGLT2‑inhibitor versus metformin in early type 2 diabetes
  • Metformin impact on abdominal aortic aneurysm growth

Work focuses on preserving pancreatic function, reducing cardiovascular events, and addressing comorbid vascular pathology.
