Henrik Vorum

Henrik Vorum is a Clinical Professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine, Aalborg University, and a senior physician at Aalborg University Hospital's Eye Department. He serves as Deputy Head of Department for Research and maintains a dual appointment in clinical practice and academic research.

• 1994: MD from Aarhus University
• 1999: Dr.med. degree on ligand binding to serum albumin
• 2006: Specialist certification in ophthalmology

His research focuses on molecular mechanisms and biomarker discovery in retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, AMD, and glaucoma. He pioneered the first translational pig model for retinal occlusions, enabling preclinical treatment testing.

Recent publications (2025) emphasize chemokine signaling in AMD, AI applications for diabetic retinopathy screening, and proteomic biomarkers for personalized risk stratification. His work spans proteomics, molecular biology, and clinical cohort studies.

• Bagger-Sørensen Research Prize (2012)
• Synoptik Foundation Research Prize (2022)
• Knight's Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog (2022)

Vorum supervises PhD students and leads interdisciplinary consortia including immunologists and clinicians. His research environment at Aalborg University integrates clinical proteomics with high-tech translational approaches.
