Research interests
Research interests: We are interested in studying different aspects pituitary hormone release and pituitary tumor formation, HPA-axis function as well as clinical and genetic aspects of peripheral hormone action and the effects of hormone oversecretion.
We are employing techniques of molecular biology in cell culture and mouse studies to explore molecular mechanisms of the control of hormone release and hormone action.
Within our clinical work, we are currently focusing on the acute and chronic complications and comorbidities accompanying the oversecretion of cortisol in Cushing’s syndrome.
