Research interests:
The field of experimental and theoretical endocrinology with a focus on developmental programming using modern experimental approaches in microscopy and stereology. The analysis of the pituitary gland, ovaries and testes of rats from fetal to adult period using stereological and morphometrical methods represents a unique approach and the gold standard in the study of morphologic changes that occur during development and/or as a result of prenatal treatment.

Publications:
At present 141 publications: 70 as international and national scientific papers and 71 communications at international and national scientific meetings.
