Dr. Lucian HRITCU is a Professor of Animal Physiology at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Faculty of Biology, Romania. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Biology (2000) from Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania. He holds a M.Sc. degree in Microbial and Cellular Biotechnologies from Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania in 2002. Dr. Hritcu received his Ph.D. in Biology from Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania in 2006 under the supervision of Prof. Ioan Bara. He was appointed to the Department of Biology at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania in 2001 as Assistant Professor. He was promoted to Full Professor in 2015.
Dr. Hritcu has made 216 peer-reviewed research articles listed by WOS (H-index 32, January 2024) and 7 book chapters (Elsevier, Springer). He also serves as an editorial member of the following journals: CNS and Neurological Disorders - Drug Targets, Plants-Basel, Frontiers in Pharmacology, Frontiers in Chemistry, Molecules, Food Safety and Health.
Currently, the major lines of research in the Hritcu lab are:
- Neurobehavioral and pharmacological studies (using rodent or zebrafish models) to evaluate the action of natural compounds.
- Identify the molecular mechanisms of action of natural compounds (including nicotine derivatives from a bacterial source) in the brain of different animal models.
- The impact of natural compounds on neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative processes.
- Pharmacological evaluation of the antioxidant action of natural compounds: in vitro and in vivo studies.
- Molecular docking receptor-ligand studies to evaluate the affinity of natural compounds on binding sites.
