Overview

Hajo Haase is affiliated with the Technical University of Berlin in Germany and has contributed extensively to research in the fields of nursing, nutrition, and toxicology. Their primary focus lies in the study of trace elements and their impacts on health, as well as addressing issues related to heavy metal exposure and toxicity.

Their work spans several interconnected subfields including Nutrition and Dietetics, Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, Plant Science, Molecular Biology, and Insect Science. The core topics addressed in their research include Trace Elements in Health, Heavy Metal Exposure and Toxicity, Iron Metabolism and Disorders, Selenium in Biological Systems, Insect Utilization and Effects, Plant and fungal interactions, and Aluminum toxicity and tolerance in plants and animals.

Haase has published research in multiple scientific journals, with frequent venues including Lebensmittelchemie, Nutrients, the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, Redox Biology, and Scientific Reports.

Some recently published papers by Haase include:

  • "A Guide to Human Zinc Absorption: General Overview and Recent Advances of In Vitro Intestinal Models" (2020, Nutrients)
  • "Interactions of zinc- and redox-signaling pathways" (2021, Redox Biology)
  • "Trace element profile and incidence of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer: results from the EPIC-Potsdam cohort study" (2021, European Journal of Nutrition)
  • "Zinc Deficiency Disturbs Mucin Expression, O-Glycosylation and Secretion by Intestinal Goblet Cells" (2020, International Journal of Molecular Sciences)
  • "Revised D-A-CH-reference values for the intake of zinc" (2020, Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology)

Collaboration is a notable aspect of Haase's research environment. Frequent co-authors include Claudia Keil, Maria Maares, Lutz Schomburg, Tanja Schwerdtle, and Anna P. Kipp. These partnerships reflect a multidisciplinary approach to investigating trace elements, metabolic processes, and cellular responses to metal exposure.
