Biography

Hanne Cathrine Bisgaard is an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in the Morphogenesis Differentiation Program. Her primary research focuses on the characterization of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in fetal and adult programming of the mammalian liver, particularly emphasizing the differentiation of stem/progenitor cells like hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. She explores programming and differentiation of human hepatic progenitor cells and utilizes human embryonic stem cells alongside induced pluripotent stem cells to advance research on liver cell lineages, nutrition effects, and microenvironment interactions. Bisgaard is involved in generating in vitro systems for studying hepatic differentiation and related diseases through gene editing techniques. She also teaches advanced courses in Chemistry, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry and supervises multiple undergraduate and graduate students, contributing to the academic community through her involvement in graduate programs and various scientific committees.
