Research Interests:
Professor Hoogewijs investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying hypoxia responses, particularly focusing on erythropoietin (EPO) regulation, globin protein functions (including cytoglobin and androglobin), and their roles in chronic kidney disease, melanoma progression, and male fertility. His work bridges basic oxygen physiology with clinical applications in hematology and nephrology.
Publication Trends:
Recent articles highlight his expertise in hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signaling, genetic variants in erythrocytosis, and the dual roles of globins in oxidative stress and cancer biology. Studies span from molecular mechanisms to translational applications in disease models.
Teaching Activities:
He contributes to courses in medical and physiological research domains, including seminars on regenerative medicine and cardio-metabolic research, primarily at the Faculty of Science and Medicine.
