معرفی
Abhijit Sen is an Associate Professor at the Department of Public Health and Nursing, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His research integrates epidemiology, global health, and AI-driven solutions, focusing on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like hypertension, diabetes, and oral health. He leads projects in resource-limited settings such as Nepal and India, emphasizing scalable interventions.
Education:
Sen holds a Master’s in Regenerative Medicine (National University of Ireland, Galway) and a PhD in Human Medicine (Medical University of Graz, Austria), where his doctoral thesis examined lifestyle impacts on telomere length and brain aging.
Research Focus:
- Leverages large-scale datasets (e.g., Trøndelag Health Study) to study environmental, lifestyle, and socioeconomic determinants of NCDs.
- Conducts community-based randomized trials for hypertension/diabetes prevention.
- Pioneers AI applications for oral disease detection using dental X-rays.
- Specializes in systematic reviews and meta-analyses for policy-relevant insights.
Recent Publication Trends (2023–2025): His 15 most recent articles reveal a strong emphasis on global NCD epidemiology, AI diagnostics, and intervention trials. Common themes include hypertension management in Nepal, oral-systemic health links, reproductive factors in cardiology, and multinational obesity/diabetes trends. AI applications in dentistry and pharmacoepidemiology are emerging subfields.
Awards:
- Springer Nature Editor of Distinction Award 2025 (BMC Oral Health)
