Biography & Research: 

Dr. Bos holds an appointment as Assistant Professor at the department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, and the department of Epidemiology of the Erasmus MC Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Dr. Bos is also appointed by the department of Epidemiology of the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, United States. His research focuses on the interface of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, with a strong emphasis on imaging. Specifically, he aims to obtain relevant biomarkers for improved understanding and prediction of these diseases, and to identify potential targets for intervention strategies. Against this background, he has gained broad experience in the application and acquisition of multi-modal imaging on the population-level, and performed important pioneering-work on the identification and quantification of specific imaging-based biomarkers of vascular disease. Specifically, his work on intracranial carotid artery calcification as important risk factor for stroke and dementia has had considerable impact, and has also led to the extension of his research horizon towards clinical studies in stroke patients.
