We work on the specific gene expressions in people with HIV and neurocognitive disorders in order to understand the underlying mechanisms and interplay of biological, psychosocial, and structural factors contributing to mood disorders in people with HIV, which might be advantageous and would result in the development of more specific drugs for treating depression and neurocognitive disorders in people with HIV...

I investigate the intricate interactions between cannabinoids, the microbiome, and HIV-associated neuroinflammation. My research focuses on how cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol affect microbiome composition, endocannabinoid levels, and neuroinflammation in people with HIV, utilizing novel metagenomic techniques like shotgun sequencing.Additionally, we are examining plasma microbiome composition among neurobehavioral phenotypes in people with HIV, aiming to uncover how microbiome… Show more I investigate the intricate interactions between cannabinoids, the microbiome, and HIV-associated neuroinflammation.

I was accepted for a research fellowship in "Heart Failure Project" under the supervision of Prof. Adriaan A. Voors, University Medical Center of Groningen (UMCG), June2016, Groningen, Netherlands. My project objective was to study the value of biomarkers in heart failure to better understand the disease and to improve diagnosis and prognosis of patients with heart failure. My project title was "Circulating micro RNAs are related to outcome in patients with heart failure: COACH Study".
