Duration: 01/2018-12/2021

Position: principal investigator

The project continuously followed the previous solution of the project, where it focused mainly on the determination of cardiovascular risk by analyzing biosignals of different effector systems of autonomic regulation and the earliest changes in atherosclerosis in depressive disorder, in a uniquely evaluated age - adolescence. The project was finished with final evaluation Excellent Results. Publications number in extenso: 35 (22 ADC, 1 ADD, 4 ADF, 6 ADM, 2 AED).

Title: Changes in autonomic regulation in relation to neurobiological dimensions of personality in response to emotional

stress - a possible pathomechanism in the trajectory of subclinical depression and clinically manifest major

depressive disorder in adolescence?

Grant Agency: Research Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic

Number: 1/0048/24

Position: deputy of principal investigator

The project is aimed at revealing differences in temperament and character dimensions of personality in the trajectory health - subclinical depression - MDD with respect to gender and the influence of anxiety in adolescents. Another aim is to evaluate changes in the autonomic nervous system activity during the emotional stress profile to objectify and quantify emotional (dys)regulation, also in relation to inflammatory activity under physiological and pathological conditions.

Duration: 2018-2020

Position: co-investigator

Clinically focused project on evaluating preclinical markers of atherosclerosis with subsequent determination of a diagnostic algorithm for cardiovascular risk assessment in cervical cancer.

Number: APVV –15-075

Grant Agency: Slovak Research and Development Agency

Duration: 07/2016-06/2020

Position: co-investigator

Project was focused on evaluation of the cardiovascular regulation/dysregulation using heart rate variability in an experimental animal models, also in terms of treatment application.
