Arthur Bergen

Prof. Arthur Bergen is a Professor at the Department of Pathology within Erasmus MC, part of Erasmus University Rotterdam. His research focuses on genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying retinal disorders, particularly gyrate atrophy, inherited retinal dystrophies, and choroid plexus biology. Key topics include whole genome sequencing, genetic variants, and cellular pathways affecting vision. He collaborates internationally on large-scale studies like the RD5000 Consortium and has contributed to understanding refractive errors through genome-wide analyses.

Research interests emphasize translational applications of genomic data to inherited ocular diseases. His work bridges basic science and clinical insights, with publications in high-impact journals like Nature Genetics and PLoS ONE. Bergen is active in multidisciplinary teams addressing genetic underpinnings of retinal pathology and systemic implications of choroid plexus function.
