SHORT DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH ACTIVITY
Research in the Laboratory of Bioanalysis is focused on the biocompatibility and bioactivity assessment of new compounds and natural substances using in vitro methods (human blood and cell culture models). Research in the Laboratory of Radiopharmacy is focused on the use of new radiopharmaceuticals as tools for diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and multifunctional agents for its treatment.

Keywords:
biocompatibility, in vitro, overall potential of haemostasis, coagulation, AChE inhibitors, Alzheimer’s disease
