Henrik H. El Ali, PhD, is Associate Professor at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. His research spans molecular imaging, quantitative physiology, and translational biomedical modeling. His early work focused on nuclear medicine and PET/CT, including development and evaluation of radiotracers for angiogenesis, hypoxia, integrin expression, uPAR targeting, and tissue factor imaging in oncology. He has contributed to methodological advances in small-animal PET/CT, attenuation correction, dosimetry, Monte Carlo modeling, and quantitative image analysis, as well as hybrid PET/MRI applications for treatment response assessment. In parallel, his more recent work centers on translational lung physiology, where he investigates airway mechanics, impulse oscillometry, and methacholine responsiveness in asthma and COPD. He integrates advanced statistical modeling and machine learning to characterize functional phenotypes and bridge preclinical and clinical measurements. Across domains, his research is unified by a focus on quantitative biomarkers, mechanistic modeling, and alignment between imaging-derived and physiological endpoints to improve translational rigor and precision medicine strategies.
