Biography
Gorazd Drevenšek has his expertise in Pharmacology and obtained his PhD degree in Medical Sciences, both from the Faculty of Medicine at University of Ljubljana. He started his research in Cardiovascular Pharmacology, in ischemic and reperfusion injuries. His focus is on pharmacological and toxicological evaluation of various drugs and natural compounds as potential cardio- and neuro-protectants. His laboratory and research skills comprise methods used in isolated organs, in vivo animal pharmacology studies and human studies. As one of the “in vivo” research models, his team developed a model of “orthodontic tooth movement in rats”, thus studying bone modelling in “in vivo” animal condition. Research with this model has been published in several dental and bone journals. His present engagement is with psychopharmacology-oriented research. He teaches Psychopharmacology, Psychopharmacology of Mental Disorders and Molecular Basis of Neurodegenerative Diseases. He conducts research in pharmacology, toxicology, neuroscience, and is heading the Laboratory for Cardiovascular Pharmacology in the Faculty of Medicine at University of Ljubljana
