The research activities on our laboratory involve multi-step organic/ inorganic chemical synthesis, development of artificial enzymes, including nanozymes, that can combat oxidative stress, maintain the reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis and regulate the redox processes in cellular signaling under disease conditions. Our research is focused on understanding of the molecular mechanism and complex chemical pathways of thyroid hormone metabolism and the development of novel methods for improving the membrane transport of small molecules, peptides and proteins.
