The research activities of the Biological Sciences group focus on the following main areas.

1) Identification of new molecules targeting enzymes involved in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.

2) Central and local control of reproduction in mammalian and non-mammalian vertebrates by cannabinoids, environmental pollutants and endocrine disruptors.

-Experimental animal models of bariatric surgery

-Mechanisms of resolution of T2DM after surgical techniques in humans.

-Enterohormones and their impact on the homeostatic mechanisms of glycemic control.

We investigate the roles of extracellular matrix (ECM) components from the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) class, enzymes for biosynthesis of GAGs and cell surface receptors of GAGs in the regulation of inflammatory response in generalized destructive form of periodontal disease in humans
