VI.5 - Participation in conducting (leading) the most important research projects or art projects over the last six years
1

EU project from the Cross-border Cooperation Program SR-AT - Interreg, Nutriaging V-014: Nutrition and Healthy Aging (2016-2021);

principal investigator in SR

The aim of the project is to search for markers of "healthy aging" in experimental conditions at the cellular and animal level (Bratislava) and in a human study with seniors placed in facilities for the elderly (Vienna), which would assess the impact of lifestyle - dietary habits (consumption of omega-3 fatty acid, vitamins and other nutrients) and physical activity on the mental and physical condition of the elderly.

2

APVV-15-0308: Molecular-pharmacological approaches to innovative therapy of rheumatoid arthritis evaluated in experimental conditions in vivo and in vitro (2016-2020); principal investigator for CU MF

The aim of the project is to obtain information about the therapeutic potential of substances with immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties for RA therapy, especially combination therapy with MTX and to find out the mechanisms of action of substances regulating redox balance in biochemical and immunological processes accompanying arthritis at intra- and extracellular level.

3

VEGA 1/0665/19: Influence of selected nutrients (proteins and vitamin D) and exercise on molecular mechanisms of sarcopenia (2019-2022);

principal investigator

The aim of the project is to study the effects of combined intervention (supplementation with selected nutrients (vitamin D and proteins) and exercise) on molecular mechanisms of sarcopenia in experimental models (animal experiment, cell cultures) through analysis of biochemical and inflammatory parameters, markers of oxidative stress and selected signaling molecules. in muscles that could play an important role in the pathophysiology of sarcopenia.

4

 VEGA 1/0183/24: Suicidality in children and adolescents, neurobiological parameters, and their mutual association (2024-2027);

deputy principal investigator

The project focuses on determining the relationship between the incidence of suicidal ideation and attempts in children aged 15-19 years and psychiatric diagnosis, on investigating neurobiological correlates with a focus on direct and indirect inflammatory markers, anti-inflammatory cytokines, lipid profile, markers of oxidative and nitrosylation stress, the rate of the limiting enzyme of GSH synthesis (glutamylcysteinyl ligase) and the Nrf2/Keap1/ARE signaling pathway compared to the control group of healthy children.

5

Contract project with Horphag Research (Europe) Ltd., Limassol, Cyprus (QR2023-03); RobuFaL Study: Effects of Robuvit on the healing process of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (2024-2025);

principal investigator

The aim of the project is to determine, in a randomized double-blind and placebo-controlled study, the effect of 12-week administration of Robuvit at a dose of 300 mg/day on the symptoms of the disease, the progression of tissue fibrosis, the mechanisms involved in the liver regeneration process and the quality of life of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or metabolically linked non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (MAFLD).
