Research Interest
My research evolved around genetic diseases of connective tissues and pathology of extracellular matrix. I have pioneered bioengineering of human articular and ear cartilages and addressed pathomorphology and therapy of cardiac and vascular diseases. I also aim at induction of new elastic fibers formation and aleviation of collagenous fibroses.
