Forskningsinteresser
The research interest is within basal cardiac research with a focus on myocardial metabolism and the response to different cardiac stressors. The professor Hafstad lab has experimental expertise is in studying cardiac metabolism and energetics using the isolated working heart set up with a repertoire of experimental biochemical techniques, including high resolution respirometry. The research focus is around studying cardiac adaptation following different cardiac stressors such as exercise, hypertension, hypoxia, obesity and diabetes. The lab has through international collaborations also studied the role of ROS producing enzymes: the NADPH-oxidases as redox signals in control of cardiac metabolism in response to stressors. Lately, the lab has gained an interest in cardiotoxicity induced by anticancer therapies and the impact of sex-specific differences in heart failure, and has received funding to investigate the cardiometabolic response to anticancer therapies in cell lines and an animal model.
Undervisning
Professor Hafstad has a long track-record for teaching and examining students at the UiT – The Arctic University of Norway in many subjects within physiology and at several courses. She has also worked as an external examinator and opponent at NTNU: Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU. She is the current leader for second year of medical school at the UiT and the exam committee in this subject. In 2017 she completed her teaching portfolio, and in 2020, she also completed the course in research supervision (UNIPED-600). She has considerable experience in supervising students at undergraduate and graduate levels.
