Research and Creative Works
Research Interest
Since 2005, Dr Gazaryan's research interests are in the field of neuroprotection, and in particular, in the development of activators of antioxidant and antihypoxic genetic programs. Two luciferase fusion reporters were developed and used for high throughput screening purposes. The patented Neh2-luc reporter and optimized HIF ODD-luc reporter are currently used to screen for new activators and perform their structural optimization. Structure-activity relationships using a 2D-titration approach with the available reporters permit elucidation of mechanisms of action of newly identified activators.
