The main interest of the Plesnila Laboratory is to study cerebral microvessels in health and disease and to use the evolving knowledge to develop novel therapeutic strategies for patients. For this purpose, we use in vitro and in vivo models for acute and chronic brain disorders, e.g., ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, brain trauma, migraine, and cerebral small vessel disease, and investigate neuro-vascular morphology and function by using AAV- and nanoparticle-based labeling and genetically encoded sensor technology together with in vivo multi-photon microscopy. The laboratory is dedicated to the principles of open science and responsible research practices.
