Main research topic field

• In vitro, in vivo and in silico study– Cancer (prostate cancer, breast cancer) –

• conducting studies on treatment/prevention of BAC (animal/vegetal) – (AxonArray transcriptomics, microRNA, protein array, antibody array) Design of innovative food with bioactive anticancer compounds (colllaboration with prof H Kloker)

– Food proteins/peptides• Milk proteins and peptide with antihypertensive effect – design of

innovative yogurt• Protein and peptide expression, purification and characterisation –

specific milk bioactive peptides and proteins (collaboration with BOKU, prof D Haltrich)

• Microbiology – developing new biomarkers as bacterial membrane proteins for food quality and control

– Endemic plants (RT-PCR, proteomics) (prof. Pamfil)• Human nutrition studies
