Daniel Bos

Daniel Bos is an Associate Professor at Erasmus MC in the Departments of Epidemiology and Radiology & Nuclear Medicine. He holds external academic appointments as Adjunct Associate Professor at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Professor at KU Leuven, reflecting his international standing in epidemiological and imaging research.

• Associate Professor, Erasmus MC – Epidemiology & Radiology & Nuclear Medicine
• Adjunct Associate Professor, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
• Professor, KU Leuven

His research centers on vascular and neuroimaging epidemiology, with a focus on arterial calcification, atherosclerosis, stroke, and the interplay between cardiovascular and neurological diseases. He utilizes advanced imaging modalities such as MRI and CT within large population cohorts, including the Rotterdam Study and MESA.

The recent publication trends highlight his deep engagement in understanding calcification processes in cerebral and coronary arteries, their links to stroke and heart disease, and novel biomarkers like lipoprotein(a). His work spans neurology, cardiology, ophthalmology, and public health, indicating a highly interdisciplinary approach. Topics such as metabolomics, dietary factors, and vascular-ocular connections further illustrate the breadth of his scientific inquiry.

While specific awards are not listed in the provided text, his prolific output and leadership in major studies suggest significant recognition in the field.

• Supervised 9 junior researchers and students
• Active collaborations across institutions in the U.S. and Europe
• Research funded through major cohort studies (Rotterdam Study, MESA)

Dr. Bos is involved in a broad network of researchers focused on cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. His work contributes to early detection, risk stratification, and understanding of shared mechanisms between vascular and organ-specific pathologies, particularly in aging populations.
