Eivind Coward

Eivind Coward is a Researcher at the Department of Public Health and Nursing within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He conducts research at the K.G. Jebsen Center for Genetic Epidemiology and participates in the Bioinformatics Core Facility and ELIXIR network.

His research focuses on the intersections of genetics, proteomics, and microbiota with bone health outcomes. Key areas include:

• Genetic and proteomic determinants of bone mineral density and fracture risk
• Microbiome-bone health interactions using HUNT study data
• Multiple myeloma genomics and clonal evolution
• Development of risk prediction models for hip fractures

Analysis of Dr. Coward's recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on population-based genetic epidemiology, with significant contributions to understanding the molecular basis of bone fractures through proteomics and Mendelian randomization approaches. His work spans both bone health and cancer genomics, demonstrating methodological expertise in bioinformatics and large-scale data analysis.

Dr. Coward actively supervises research and teaches bioinformatics methods for next-generation sequencing analysis. His collaborative network includes researchers across Europe working on the HUNT study and multiple myeloma consortia.

His laboratory work centers on the K.G. Jebsen Center for Genetic Epidemiology, where he applies bioinformatics approaches to large population datasets to uncover genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying bone health and cancer progression.
