DESCRIPTION:The centre of the Milky Way has been subject of an intense obs
 ervational program over the past thirty years. This led to the discovery o
 f a point source supermassive object named Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) whose i
 nferred mass is ~ 4 million solar masses. Thanks to the precise tracking o
 f the motion of stars in its surroundings and the direct imaging of accret
 ing matter in this region\, we can now unambiguously identify this object 
 as a supermassive black-hole (SMBH). A promising possibility to reach new 
 experimental frontiers in black hole physics is the existence of detectabl
 e pulsars on tight relativistic orbits in the Galactic Center. While\, up 
 to date\, no pulsar has been directly observed in orbit around Sgr A*\, fu
 ture observing facilities like the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) promise no
 t only to reach this goal\, but also to be able to perform timing analysis
  of such sources. In this talk I will show the recent progress in the mode
 ling of pulsar timing in the Galactic Center and the avenues that the succ
 essful detection of a pulsar in this environment would open for unparallel
 ed tests of gravity.
