Laboratory for cellular physiology was established at Department of Physiology in 2008 by Drs. Jasna Marinović and Marko Ljubković. Research focus of the laboratory have been intracellular processes involved in ischemic cardiac disease as well as various modes of cardiac protection. Also, myocardial metabolic variations are being investigated in different pathological conditions (such as diabetes) or as part of a so called cardiac metabolic therapy.

ORPHY is part of the Institute of health-agro-material (IBSAM) of the Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO, Brest, France). The team studies cardiovascular and muscular adaptations, from cell to human in physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Clinical and fundamental approaches are used through in vivo and in vitro methodologies adapted to Health questions.
