Henrik Georg Bohr is a Danish physicist known for his interdisciplinary work bridging quantum physics, biophysics, and neuroscience. He earned his M.Sc. (1969) and Ph.D. (1973) in physics from the University of Copenhagen, where he began his research on quantum many-body systems and theoretical nuclear physics. Early in his career, he was associated with the Niels Bohr Institute (1970s-1980s) and later worked at Risø National Laboratory (1980s-1990s), expanding his focus to biological systems. Since the 2000s, Bohr has served as a senior researcher at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), affiliated with the Department of Physics and later with Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (DTU Compute). He was Director of Quantum Protine Center, a Danish fundamental research center of excellence. His work has ranged from quantum effects in biological structures to computational models of the brain.

In recent decades, Bohr has been deeply involved in developing computational models of brain activity, particularly focusing on how quantum mechanical principles might relate to consciousness and memory, positioning him as a leading voice in the emerging field of quantum neuroscience. He has also contributed to methods for detecting and analyzing biomarkers in cancer diagnostics, especially within collaborative bioinformatics settings. Bohr has authored numerous scientific papers and has actively participated in international research communities in physics, biophysics, and AI in medicine.
