Academic Title:		Associate Professor
Primary Appointment:		Pathology
Department Website:		Pathology

RESEARCH OVERVIEW

	Current research interests are: 1) The significance of circulating molecular variants of human prolactin with particular reference to glycosylated variant as well as macroprolactin. The research examines biological and immunological effects of these variants, their relative changes in patients with prolactinoma and other hyperprolactinaemic states. 2) The role of circulating levels of IL-6, tumor necrosis factor soluble receptor II, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist in patients with heat-stroke / heat- exhaustion. 3) The significance of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with meningitis and in serum from patients suspected of acute coronary syndrome as well as the prognostic value of cytokines in sepsis, trauma, and in patients with poor nutritional status.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

	Proteomics
	Molecular Heterogeneity of Prolactin
	Cytokines in heatstroke, trauma, inflammation, and meningitis
