The main field of my research activities is biomedical science. The dominant research direction is herbal medicine. Topics of my research activities include: (1) studies on the phytochemical profile of secondary plant metabolites, herbal substances, phytopharma- and nutraceutical products directed to deep understanding of phytochemical value and quality needs which would be significant for pharmaceutical science, business and consumers (such as methodological development, research of biodiversity of medical plants and natural resources, phytoequivalence and quality design of herbal substances and products); (2) in vitro and in vivo studies of the biological activity, bioavailability and effectiveness of natural additives, herbal substances and products on a cellular level, and pharmacokinetic studies of secondary plant compounds; (3) scientific based functionalisation of herbal materials with a focus on formulation, technological design and biopharmaceutical studies directed to support consumption of herbal products.
