Short description of research profile

The scopes of research include spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods for the determination of antioxidative potential of different substrates including in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo samples like human blood (plasma, serum), tissues (animal, human) and different herbals. Recent research by this group has been focused on skin models of damages (mechanical, UV, chemical) and on various treatment potential of different substances for skin. Furthermore, this group research focuses on public health subjects in modern pharmacy and physician pharmacist collaboration.
