Networks and rhythms in endocrine glands

Our team’s research focuses on a fundamental question in physiology: ‘How is the production and release of peptide hormones from the hypothalamic-pituitary axis controlled? To this end, we have carried out a multidisciplinary in vivo approach using animal models to explore the integration of cell signals hypothalamic neurons (neuroendocrine and hypothalamic central clock) and pituitary endocrine cells, and their relationship with the microcirculation in physiology/pathology.
