Peter Thorlund Haahr is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. His research program focuses on Transcription, RNA, and Gene Medicine, investigating fundamental cellular processes with implications for human disease.
Dr. Haahr's primary research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of cellular stress responses and functional genomics. His laboratory aims to identify and characterize new genes that play important roles in human disease by studying basic mechanisms of cellular stress responses and gene expression. The lab employs a combination of unbiased proteome- and genome-wide screens as well as targeted molecular and cell biological approaches to understand how cellular stress responses function as dynamic signaling networks controlling adaptation mechanisms against environmental challenges.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on cellular stress response mechanisms, particularly how these responses interact with transcriptional and translational machinery. His work spans diverse areas including DNA damage response, protein synthesis regulation during stress, and the role of specific enzymes in cellular fitness. The research has significant implications for understanding and treating cancer and age-related neurodegenerative disorders.
Dr. Haahr's laboratory combines targeted cell biology, biochemistry, and synthetic biology approaches with cutting-edge systems-wide screening strategies to elucidate cellular processes in human cells. Current research specifically investigates mechanisms of translation regulation during stress, SUMO-targeted ubiquitination in proteostatic stress responses, and genetic compensation by adaptive gene expression.
