Our group works in interdisciplinary field:

• we develop an advanced image analysis of laser speckle flowmetry to assess dynamical changes in the renal vascular network
• we develop mechanism-based models of vascular networks
• we develop an in vivo experimental approach based on Raman spectroscopic  techniques to study hemoprotein properties and signaling pathways in living cell, isolated heart and brain slices

• Biophysics
• Renal physiology
• Biosimulation
