Vilhelm Bohr is an Affiliate Professor at the Center for Healthy Aging at the University of Copenhagen, focusing on DNA maintenance processes and mitochondrial biology in relation to aging and neurodegenerative diseases. His research highlights the accumulation of DNA damage and mutation, which correlates with aging and neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Part of his work examines the role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), investigating how its metabolism influences mitochondrial function and autophagy, vital for removing dysfunctional mitochondria in the context of age-associated neurodegeneration. He also studies the interaction between DNA damage and mitochondrial stress in tau pathology, aiming to uncover mechanisms through various animal models and human cell lines. Bohr's research is pivotal in understanding the molecular connections between aging, DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neurodegeneration.
Focuses on clinical, social, and cognitive psychology.
