1. The Effects of SSRI Treatment on Human Placenta and Embryo
Abstract : During pregnancy, 4 - 7% of women suffer from major depressive disorder. When antidepressive treatment is needed, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most commonly used. Although severe complications from SSRI treatment are rare, association with a number of adverse pregnancy and fetal outcomes has been found. READ MORE

2. Psychotropic Pharmaceuticals in Aquatic Systems: An Ecological Perspective
Abstract : Psychotropic pharmaceuticals have been shown to exert a variety of sublethal effects on non-target organisms, even at low concentrations found in the environment (ng/L to µg/L); hence, the aim of my research has been to determine the individual-level effects of psychotropic pharmaceuticals (the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors sertraline and fluoxetine, and the β-blocker propranolol) on behavioral and life history traits in freshwater organisms. Further, this research was directed towards assessing the potential large-scale impacts of these effects on population growth and predator-prey interactions (with community-level implications) via the application of traditional, ecological concepts and models.

4. Cytochrome P450 2C9, 2C19 and 2D6 genetic polymorphisms : evaluation of genotyping as a tool for individualised treatment
Abstract : Recent advances in the understanding of drug metabolism and the molecular biology of CYPs have generated great expectations regarding the use of pharmacogenetic testing as a tool to individualize drug treatment. The individual pharmacogenetic constitution might in principle predict the response to drugs, hormones and toxins. READ MORE
