IMPORTANCE, AIMS AND POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF RESEARCH
Acute pancreatitis is one of the most frequent gastrointestinal diseases that needs
acute treatment in hospital and its mortality in serious cases can reach 30-
60%. The specific treatment is still not solved which urges the identification of
new drug targets. Earlier we showed that the damaged function of the cystic fibrosis
transmembrane conductance regulator chloride channel (CFTR) decreases
the pancreatic ductal bicarbonate secretion. We also suggested that the decreased
secretion significantly increases the severity of the pancreatic inflammation.
In my present research my aim is to correct the function of CFTR during acute
pancreatitis which might be a special treatment option in the treatment of acute
pancreatitis.
AIMS DURING HER CAREER
During my research carreer, I would like to focus on the identification of basic
mechanisms that can be used in the clinical practice. With my results I would like
to improve the effectivity of the clinical treatment and quality of life of patients
suffering from inflammatory diseases.
