IMPORTANCE, AIMS AND POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF RESEARCH<br />
In developed countries, the leading causes of death are cardiovascular diseases.<br />
Several conditions with metabolic alterations (e.g. hypercholesterolemia,<br />
diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, etc.) increase the risk for cardiovascular<br />
diseases. Our research interest includes investigation of acute myocardial infarction,<br />
and the molecular mechanisms of cardiac complications of metabolic<br />
risk factors. Furthermore, we investigate adaptation to ischemia in the heart (i.e.<br />
ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning) in the presence or absence of<br />
metabolic risk factors. The abovementioned diseases are set up in ex vivo and in<br />
vivo models in our lab. The techniques we use include for instance echocardiography,<br />
Langendorff heart perfusion, measurement of the size of tissue necrosis,<br />
qPCR, and Western blot. We hope to understand better the mechanism of heart<br />
diseases developing as a consequence of metabolic risk factors, and to discover<br />
possible therapeutic treatment options.<br />
AIMS DURING HER CAREER<br />
Beyond my university studies, this program gives me an opportunity to get closer<br />
to different aspects of science as a student. I hope that later in my career this<br />
knowledge can also be used in the clinics and in my further research. My aim is to<br />
translate the newly discovered research results into the clinical practice, thereby<br />
improving medical therapy.<br />
