Bruce Lanphear has led studies that the US, Canada, and European Union relied on to set standards for lead in air, food, water, and house dust. His studies were the impetus for the remarkable conclusion that no amount of lead is safe for children. Dr. Lanphear, vexed by our inability to control the worldwide epidemic of chronic disease due to widespread exposure to industrial pollutants, toxic chemicals, and excess consumption, is leading an effort to produce videos to enhance understanding of how human health is inextricably linked with environmental hazards and elevate efforts to prevent disease. |

Following my Bachelor’s of Science in Honours Biochemistry from the University of Waterloo, I completed my medical school, residency training in Internal Medicine, and fellowship in Medical Biochemistry at McMaster University. After my fellowship, I moved to Vancouver to join the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at St. Paul's Hospital. In addition to my laboratory practice, I continue to enjoy clinical work in Internal Medicine. I am particularly interested in helping both the clinical services and the laboratory increase efficiency by improving communication and achieving better mutual understanding. I am a strong advocate for appropriate test utilization and high-value care. I currently serve as co-chair for the national Using Labs Wisely collaborative from Choosing Wisely Canada. |
