Dr. Mark Bergel

Dedicated to the pursuit of what is possible

The Bergel Institute examines research and developments in health and technology while working daily to effect change in areas such as poverty, human trafficking, and human enslavement. The failure of collective efforts to eradicate these issues over generations motivates the Institute to work with pressing urgency and to build partnerships across the globe.

A year of intensive study and active mentorship

The Institute supports one-year Fellowships for individuals of all ages who wish to pursue intensive study across our six focus areas. The Institute serves as an incubator for Fellows to prepare their work for future growth. Upon completion, Fellows are required to serve as mentors for future Fellows.
