Kristaps Dambergs

Kristaps Dambergs serves as Acting Assistant in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at Riga Stradins University, focusing on middle ear pathologies and tissue biomarker research. His work bridges clinical practice with molecular investigation of ear disorders.

His research centers on cholesteatoma pathogenesis, particularly examining ontogenetic aspects through metalloprotease activity, tissue inhibitors, and inflammatory markers. Key interests include comparative analysis of pediatric versus adult cholesteatoma morphology, thromboplastin expression patterns, and antimicrobial peptide roles in middle ear diseases. His fingerprint reveals strong specialization in Cholesteatoma (100%), Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 4 (37%), and Gelatinase B (32%) research.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent output in otolaryngology with emphasis on molecular pathology trends. His 2024 Diagnostics journal article established tissue factor comparisons across age groups, while conference presentations at Kyiv and Riga events highlighted morphological differences in cholesteatoma specimens. The research shows increasing focus on translational applications of molecular markers in ear surgery.

Professional activities include 7 presentations (5 oral, 2 poster) between 2019-2024 and 4 media contributions addressing pediatric ENT concerns including adenoid surgery indications, chronic sinusitis management, and COVID-19 ENT protocols. His doctoral project 'Characterisation of non-metastasizing benign middle ear formations in ontogenetic aspect' (2020-2024) formed the foundation of his thesis work.
