Research interests

My research interests are in the biological aspects of female aging, physical activity and their interaction current focus being on the effects of hormonal aging on muscle and body metabolism, performance, and health. In addition, I study associations of life style habits, such as physical activity and nutrition on cancer and metabolic diseases. The underlying molecular mechanisms are revealed by using a wide range of the methods of molecular genetics with special focus on non-coding RNA molecules and high-density lipoprotein particles.
