Short presentation

I have been employed at the dept. of Biomedicine, Pharmacology, since April 2007. At present my research concerns the potential effects of dietary vitamin C on the development of the brain in neonate guinea pigs. Previously, my field of research has been embryology with principal focus on mechanisms involved in the embryonic development of ruminants..
