Bio
John Boice is professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and scientific director of the International Epidemiology Institute (IEI), a biomedical research firm with offices in Rockville, Md., and Jacksonville, Fla., involved in the design, conduct and analysis of epidemiologic studies into the causes of cancer and other diseases. He is an international authority on radiation effects and currently serves on the Main Commission of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, the US delegation to the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement, and the Congressionally mandated Veterans’ Advisory Board on Dose Reconstruction.
During his 28 years of service in the US Public Health Service, Boice developed and became the first chief of the Radiation Epidemiology Branch at the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Boice has established programs of research in all major areas of radiation epidemiology, with major projects dealing with populations exposed to medical, occupational, military, and environmental radiation, along with studies of workers exposed during the Chernobyl cleanup operations. This research effort has been aimed at clarifying cancer and other health risks associated with exposure to ionizing radiation, especially at low-dose levels. Boice's seminal discoveries have been used to formulate public health measures to reduce population exposure to radiation and prevent radiation-associated diseases.
He currently directs the Genetic Consequences of Cancer Treatment study, supported by the NCI, the largest epidemiologic study yet undertaken to assess the possible risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes (malformation, neonatal death, stillbirth, cancer) related to the curative treatments received by cancer survivors who are able to become pregnant.
