Researcher Professor
Responsibilities
Eleni Papadopoulou, PhD, a Research Professor and epidemiologist at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Department for Global Health, specializes in global health with a strong emphasis on digital health for maternal and child health. Her background in nutrition, public health, and environmental epidemiology informs her current role as the principal investigator of the EU-funded project ENABLE and coordinator of the NORAD-funded BIS Ethiopia project. Eleni's research primarily focuses on understanding environmental and climate impacts on childhood development and growth, as well as advancing quality antenatal and postnatal care , and she is actively involved in capacity building and health system strengthening projects in Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Uganda, supervising PhD students and employing advanced epidemiological methods to improve global health outcomes. Her research utilizes a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, systematic reviews, clinical trials, and longitudinal birth cohort studies, as well as other advanced statistical methods, to understand complex interactions between early life factors and their impact on health and understand how to strengthen primary health care services for mothers and children in LMICs.
