Editor-in-Chief · Communications in Prolactin Research
My research addresses the biology of prolactin and vasoinhibin — a prolactin fragment that regulates the growth and function of blood vessels. The work spans molecular mechanisms, the development of monoclonal antibodies (Vi-Mab), and their translation into laboratory diagnostics and clinical utilization.
Research focus
Prolactin & vasoinhibin
Molecular biology and physiology of the prolactin/vasoinhibin axis with a role in vascular regulation.
Monoclonal antibodies
Development and validation of vasoinhibin-specific antibodies (Vi-Mab).
Translational diagnostics
Turning research tools into assays for laboratory medicine.
Journal
Communications in Prolactin Research
As Editor-in-Chief, I lead Communications in Prolactin Research — the first peer-reviewed journal dedicated entirely to the hormone prolactin. If your work touches prolactin biology or the prolactin/vasoinhibin axis, you are warmly invited to explore the journal and consider submitting your manuscript.
