Poul Nissen serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. His research spans membrane transport biology and cellular stress response mechanisms, with particular emphasis on P-type ATPases and calcium signaling pathways.
His primary research interests include Membrane Transport Biology, Structural Biology of Ion Pumps, and ER Stress-Induced Cell Death Mechanisms. Work on thapsigargin analogs and α-synuclein interactions reveals therapeutic applications in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Recent publications demonstrate sustained focus on calcium homeostasis disruptions in pathological conditions.
His publication portfolio shows significant impact with 564 citations for the seminal 2011 review on P-Type ATPases, referenced in 4 patents and 2 Wikipedia pages. Additional work has been highlighted by 5 news outlets and discussed across academic platforms including Mendeley (588 readers) and X (21 user posts).
Nissen maintains active research collaborations evidenced by co-authorship on recent studies involving plasma membrane calcium pumps and ER stress responses. His laboratory investigations focus on molecular mechanisms linking ion transport dysregulation to disease pathologies, particularly in cancer and neurodegeneration contexts.
