Institution
Section overview
Description
The research carried out in the Department covers the following main topics: * pathophysiology and pharmacology of diseases of the central nervous system, such as epilepsy and extrapyramidal disorders * pathophysiology and pharmacology of diseases of the skin * toxic, particularly carcinogenic effects of electromagnetic field exposure For investigation of these topics experimental in vivo and in vitro methods are in use, including experimental techniques of behavioural pharmacology, biochemistry, physiology, behavioural and analytical toxicology and pathology. The experimental work serves to improve pharmacotherapy and to reduce health risks for both humans and animals.
