- Dentistry
Biography
Dr Bergholt received his MSc. Degree in Engineering, Physics and Technology (optics) from the University of Southern Denmark and his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from National University of Singapore.
He was awarded the Marie Curie Fellowship at Imperial College London and the United Kingdom Regenerative Medicine Platform (UKRMP) Special Merit Prize.
He is currently a Reader in Biophotonics at King's College London. His research interests include biomedical optics and light-tissue interaction, linear/non-linear optical spectroscopy/imaging, advanced endoscopy and artificial intelligence in preclinical disease models and in patients to shed new light on disease onset and progression. He holds several commercialized patents in healthcare.
Research
Centre for Craniofacial & Regenerative Biology
Our research goes beyond the mouth. If we understand how the entire face and head forms, we can repair damage and regenerate cells. If we unravel the causes of diseases, we can treat patients successfully. If we solve these problems, our discoveries will improve health worldwide.
Bergholt Lab
A multidisciplinary research team working on label-free bioimaging.
Regenerative Biomaterials
Regenerative biomaterials are an essential component in developing advanced cell and gene therapies for tissue regeneration. The Centre for Craniofacial & Regenerative Biology is at the forefront of regenerative biomaterials discovery and translation, thanks to unique synergies arising from leading expertise in developmental biology, bioengineering and cell technologies.
