Research focus:

My research focuses on the biological mechanisms that underpin the beneficial effects of exercise in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). In particular, I am interested in the acute and chronic effects of endurance exercise on kynurenines – tryptophan metabolites with immunomodulatory and neuroactive properties.

Teaching:

• Preparatory seminar for an internship in an out-of-school field of sports
• Seminar "performance physiology"

Administration:

• Organization of the graduation ceremony
• Student acquisition
