Eva Bang Harvald

Eva Bang Harvald is a Teaching Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark, specializing in Functional Genomics & Metabolism. Her research spans molecular mechanisms in cardiomyocyte development, metabolism in C. elegans, and stem cell applications in metabolic disorders.

Her work integrates transcriptomics for cardiac tissue analysis, autophagy studies in starvation response, and transcription factor mapping (e.g., ZEB1 in cardiomyocyte proliferation). She explores lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways via Caenorhabditis elegans and biomedical translation.

Recent publications focus on single-cell RNA sequencing in cardiomyocytes, stem cell therapy for diabetes-linked erectile dysfunction, and inflammasome signaling in autoimmune diseases. She received the 2024 NAT Teaching Prize and SDU Teaching Prize.
