Research interests

Study of the effect of various environmental factors such as low or high temperature, increased CO2, pollutants, diet quality, microbial load, etc. in the physiology of various animal organisms (fish, marine and terrestrial invertebrates, amphibians, mammals), their homeostasis and specifically in their adaptation to these changing environmental conditions. Specifically, the physiological, cellular, biochemical and molecular mechanisms of adaptation of animal organisms to environmental changes through specific cellular and molecular pathways (e.g. apoptosis, autophagy, inflammation, signaling, heat stress response), antioxidant defense (e.g. study of antioxidant enzymes and oxidizing agents), energy balance (enzymes of basic metabolism and metabolic products) and mitochondrial function and capacity are investigated. Due to the fact that the metabolism of energy stores and the development of metabolic markers (e.g. metabolites and by-products of metabolism) contribute substantially to the establishment of metabolic patterns, in recent years, we have been researching metabolic patterns (metabolomics) together with those of genomics and proteomics. The latter aims to the provision of useful information about the physiological background of animal organisms, helping their subsequent management in order for their well-being but also their productivity to be increased.
