Hans Gregersen


Hans Gregersen is a Danish bioengineer and scientist. He is regarded as a key figure in the field of gastrointestinal biomechanics and function.

Research

Gregersen main fields of research are biomechanics, neurogastroenterology and mechanosensation. Gregersen is the author of numerous books including Essentials of Experimental Surgery and Biomechanics of the Gastrointestinal tract. He is the principal founder of the GIOME network. Gregersen and colleagues were the first to demonstrate the importance of residual stress on organ mechanical behavior using a true two layer model and he also supervised the basic work on the luminal functional imaging probe and the multimodal pain testing. Gregersen is the co-inventor of the functional luminal imaging technology that was commercialized by Irish company Crospon Ltd.
