Research Interest
The main focus of my research is the PET (positron emisson tomography) tracer development for the MCHR1 (melanin concentrationg hormone receptor 1). This target is of high interest for endocrinological diseases such as obesity od diabetes. A PET tracer would provide deeper understanding of the MCHR1 functions and could help to better understand the endocrine status and guide pharmacological intervention via the MCHR1.
