Our research team employs interdisciplinary methods, encompassing structural biology, cell biology, and medicinal chemistry, to unravel the molecular basis of channelopathies and explore diverse modes of action for drugs targeting ion channels.
Currently, invasive fungal infections are devastating due to the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and interventional treatment. Among them, Candida albicans is one of the most prevalent opportunistic pathogenic fungi in the humans, responsible for 60-70% of invasive fungal infections.

My research interest focuses on developing novel technologies for DNA methylation analysis using chemical and biochemical approaches, with a primary application in the field of cancer early screening and related biomedical research.
Prion diseases primarily caused by the conformational conversion of prion protein (PrP) from its cellular form (PrPC) into a pathological aggregated form (PrPSc) in humans, cattle, sheep and cervid species. A major pathological hallmark of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the aggregates formed by copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) in motor neuron cells.
