Herr Professor Dr. Til Ole Bergmann ist seit 2020 Universitätsprofessor für Neurostimulation an der Universitätsmedizin Mainz und seit 2020 assoziierter Arbeitsgruppenleiter im Leibniz-Institut für Resilienzforschung angestellt. In Nebentätigkeit arbeitet er stundenweise auch an der Universität Tübingen und Fribourg, Schweiz. Er hat seit 2018 keine persönlichen Honorare für Beratertätigkeiten, Fortbildungsveranstaltungen, Vorträge oder Stellungnahmen von pharmazeutischen Unternehmen oder Medizinprodukteherstellern erhalten. Von der gemeinnützigen Boehringer Ingelheim Stiftung erhielt er zwischen 2018 und 2020 Forschungsmittel zum Aufbau der AG Neurostimulation am Leibniz-Institut für Resilienzforschung sowie von 2020-2023 weitere Mittel für die Universität Mainz zur Anschubfinanzierung im Rahmen einer BMBF Ausschreibung: Förderkomponente Strukturprofessur „Neurostimulation“.
