Research interests

My research interests are in neurobiology and metabolism, studying broad phenomena like dioxin-toxicity or physical activity and how they are linked with central nervous system and cognitive skills. Currently I am involved in studying the connections and signaling between gut, gut microbiome, brain, and metabolism. I am especially interested in the development of an individual, how early life stressors or factors like physical activity affect the later outcome (the phenotype and disease risk factors) at adulthood.
