lood-Brain Barrier: Gateway to the mysteries
Viswanath Vittaladevaram, PhD Researcher at the Biological & Chemical Sciences Department at the University of Galway (group leader: David Cheung), send us a picture of the "Blood-Brain Barrier: Gateway to the mysteries": "Due to the complexity of investigating the blood-brain barrier in vivo, it is desirable to create synthetic models of it. Such models will enable the study of disorders of the central nervous system, for example allowing for the study of transport of drugs or other molecules through this and how disruption to this can affect its function. Using molecular simulation, the adsorption of single proteins is investigated, focusing on changes to protein conformation and exposure of binding sites.Model blood-brain barriers can also be used for investigation of drug uptake and screening of candidate drug molecules.

Expertise
My expertise lays in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine: Liver, bone and cartilage regeneration with the focus on the development and testing systems using biocompatible natural and synthetic materials that promote regeneration processes; tissue decellularization and characterization; investigation of biomaterial interactions with cells (endothelial, epithelial, stem cells, hepatocytes); studying biomaterials stimulating natural revascularization in situ using very low concentrations of growth factors; material-protein-controlled differentiation of stem cells into different lineages, particularly in osteogenic and chondrogenic lineage combined with promotion of vasculogenesis; in vivo tests of vascularization and bone regeneration; broadly interested in bone, cartilage and liver regeneration.
