Scientific interest:

• Modulation of mechanisms leading to the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen metabolites by phagocytes
• Effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids and products of their peroxidation on the metabolic activity of phagocytes
• Mutual interactions of phagocytes with other cell types and extracellular matrix components
• Antioxidative properties of body fluids, drugs and natural compounds
• Role of myeloperoxidase in the regulation of vascular physiology
• Redox regulation of intracellular signaling
• Role of NADPH oxidases in the physiology of non-phagocytic cells
