Frank de Vocht is a Professor in Epidemiology and Public Health, and joined the Centre for Public Health, which is part of Population Health Sciences at Bristol Medical School in 2014. He is funded by the NIHR School for Public Health Research and NIHR Applied Research Collaboration West (ARC West).
He obtained his PhD from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and subsequently worked at the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, and the Centre for Epidemiology/Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health at the University of Manchester, before coming to Bristol.
He has over 190 peer-review publications broadly covering the areas of public health, exposure measurements and assessment, and radiation, environmental and occupational epidemiology. He has contributed to book chapters on epidemiology, exposure assessment and the effects of electromagnetic fields on humans. His work has been funded by NIHR, UKRI, the European Union and several charities. His current research interests are two-fold: the evaluation of natural experiments in public health, specifically in the context of local policies, and secondly the effects of ionising and non-ionizing radiation on human health.
Frank de Vocht is a member of several national and international radiation protection expert groups, including the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Commission (ICNIRP) and formerly the UK Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE). He is also a member of the Health Council of the Netherlands (Gezondheidsraad).
His inaugural lecture, delivered on March 14 2024, entitled "Evaluations of Public Health Interventions. Skin in the Game?", can be viewed here.
