Prof. Hanssen Henner is Deputy Head of the Department of Prevention, Sports Medicine & System Physiotherapy at the University of Basel's Medical Faculty. He holds a faculty position in the Department of Sport, Exercise and Health (DSBG), focusing on cardiovascular health, hypertension management, and exercise physiology. His research bridges clinical practice and population health, emphasizing early intervention strategies, vascular biomarkers, and exercise-based therapies. Key areas include pediatric cardiovascular risk, post-COVID-19 recovery, and microvascular dysfunction in chronic diseases.
Research interests span hypertension pathophysiology, retinal vessel analysis as a biomarker, and the role of physical activity in disease prevention. He leads trials like VascuFit and HyperVasc, evaluating exercise interventions for cardiovascular risk reduction. Collaborations include international guidelines (ESC) and interdisciplinary projects on metabolic profiling and epigenetic influences on health.
His work addresses translational challenges such as standardizing retinal imaging protocols and developing personalized exercise prescriptions. Recent studies highlight the metabolic signatures of cardiorespiratory fitness and the impact of dietary components (e.g., AGEs) on vascular health. He also investigates pandemic-related occupational stress in healthcare workers and long-term post-COVID-19 sequelae.
Grants and projects involve randomized controlled trials (e.g., HIT-GLAUCOMA, SphingoFIT), biomarker validation initiatives, and public health strategies targeting obesity trajectories in children. His expertise is reflected in contributions to clinical consensus statements on cardiovascular prevention and sports medicine guidelines for post-infection athlete management.
