Philippe Grandjean, M.D., D.M.Sc.
Professor of Environmental Medicine
University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark

Dr. Grandjean is Professor of Environmental Medicine at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Environmental Health and Neurology at Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health. He received his academic degrees from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Following university fellowships and a two-year Fulbright senior research scholarship at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, he became the first Director of the Department of Occupational Medicine at the Danish National Institute of Occupational Health in 1980. After moving to Odense University as full Professor in 1982, he also became the Consultant in Toxicology for the National Board of Health, Denmark. He serves on editorial boards of ten scientific journals, was European Editor of Archives of Environmental Health during 1986-92, and recently became Editor-in-Chief of the new web-based journal Environmental Health. He has previously served as Vice-Dean of the medical faculty in Odense, as institute chairman and member of the Danish Medical Research Council. Internationally, he has served on or chaired several committees under the auspices of WHO, IARC, EC, IUPAC, and other organizations and served on the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program Subcommittee of the U.S.EPA. The research on marine contaminants and their effects on child development was initiated with Dr. Pal Weihe in the mid-1980s, and the Faroese birth cohort studies have since then given rise to several international cooperative projects. Of the 300+ scientific publications almost half are published in international journals with peer review.
