Overview
About the program
The topics in this Elucidation of molecular mechanisms as foundation for an evidence-based complementary and integrative medicine program at Heidelberg University are active ingredients of plants and photobiomodulation in respect to their effects on the immune system, on tumor defense, on regulation of the natural intestinal barrier and on wound healing.
The final goal is to obtain solid scientifically consolidated findings to critically evaluate methods of complementary medicine for future treatments of tumors or chronic inflammatory diseases.
Programme Structure
Research projects include:
- Molecular and functional effects of redox-active plant derived substances as potential candidates for therapeutic immune modulation
- Control of the Innate immune responses by diet-related activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor
- Investigation of the molecular mode of action of ginger and boldin in inflammatory response and intestinal barrier function
- The molecular basis of photobiomodulation in skin
