Christian Page, MSc, PhD is currently a senior researcher in computational epidemiology at the department of health and ageing at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. He has a background in statistics and mathematical biology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He obtained his master’s degree in medical statistics from NTNU 2012, working on functional modelling of gene expression. He has a PhD in genetic epidemiology from the Department of Neurology, University of Oslo 2016, focusing on modelling the contribution of epigenetics and rare variants in Multiple Sclerosis risk. Dr. Page has worked extensively with genetic and epigenetic epidemiology in multiple large Norwegian cohorts, including the Norwegian Mother and Child cohort (MoBa), the Health Survey in Mid-Norway (HUNT), and the Norwegian Woman and Cancer Cohort (NOWAC). He has also been key member of the Pregnancy and Childhood Epigenetics (PACE) consortium since 2015. He has held multiple positions in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Genetic Epidemiology throughout his career, mostly focusing on drawing inference from large complex data sources, such as national medical registry linkages or large, often nation-wide, cohorts. Dr. Page research spans the Developmental Origin of Health and Disease (DOHaD), integer-generational transmission of health and disease, medication and disease management during pregnancy, and aging research. His current research is on computational epidemiology and complex statistical modelling in registry data, with application on causality, spatial and temporal modelling, and developing novel designs. Dr. Page has a long track record with multiple published papers in (genetic) epidemiology and epigenetics, and have multiple strong collaborations with leading research groups, both national and international.
