Dr Frank De Vocht is based in the Bristol Medical School's Centre for Populaton Health Sciences where he investigates the spread of non-communicable diseases 鈥� how they are caused and how they are overcome. He has a particular interest in diseases caused by radiation and by excessive alcohol consumption, alongside broader areas of environmental health and evaluations of public health policies and interventions. Dr De Vocht is currently exploring the effectiveness of policies to reduce alcohol consumption in public places alongside ways of reducing radiation impacts from sources such as nuclear power stations, 5G masts, and mobile phones. He has also explored the health implications of working in other non-ionising settings, such as alongside MRI scanners in hospitals and in rubber manufacturing plants. He has an additional area of research focused on future planning in health systems using data analysis.

Dr. Bell鈥檚 research interests include examining the association of environmental exposures and adverse birth and child health outcomes, including neurodevelopment. She is particularly interested in the relationship between social factors and environmental exposures and their combined impact on child development. Dr. Bell most recently served as co-Principal Investigator of the Upstate KIDS study, a cohort study of over 6000 infants designed to examine risk factors for development differences, Autism and additional growth and developmental outcomes.

Currently, she is the co-Principal Investigator with the New York State Department of Health, of a cohort study to recruit and enroll participants into a prospective cohort of adults and children to examine the long-term health effects associated with consumption of drinking water contaminated with per and poly alkyl substances (PFAS).  She previously led the investigations of adverse reproductive outcomes by levels of air pollutants in the New York State Department of Health鈥檚 Environmental Health Tracking Program and previously served as a co-PI of the New York Center for the National Birth Defects Prevention Study/BD-STEPS multi-center studies funded by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC).

Given the strong correlation between excess exposure to environmental contaminants, poverty and racial inequalities, her research and community service have more recently expanded into exploring the health outcomes related to these disparities. She currently serves on the executive committee of the Center for Social and Demographic Analysis and as a member of the Community Advisory Board for the Ezra Prentice neighborhood, an Environmental Justice Community in Albany, NY. She has previously served as a member on three of the Institute of Medicine Committees on Review of the Health Effects in Vietnam Veterans of Exposure to Herbicides. Currently, she is a member of the National Academy of Medicine's Committee on Guidance on PFAS Testing and Health Outcomes.

Beth J Feingold, PhD is an interdisciplinary environmental health scientist. Bridging geography, epidemiology and global health, her research addresses the dynamic relationship among the food system, environmental sustainability and population health.

Dr. Feingold earned her PhD in Public Health from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, her Master of Environmental Science from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, her Master of Public Health from Yale School of Public Health and her Bachelor of Arts in Geology from Vassar College. She was the Glenadore and Howard L Pim Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University and a Postdoctoral Associate at Duke University鈥檚 Nicholas School of the Environment and Global Health Institute. She joined the University at Albany as an Assistant Professor in 2014.

 

Research interests
Anthropogenic (human-induced) changes to the environment affect and are affected by food production and consumption; this, in turn, impacts nutrition and human health. Dr. Feingold addresses these relationships locally, nationally and internationally by utilizing novel assessment tools and engaging communities. Her three main themes of research are:

Assessing dietary and environmental drivers of disease risk in regions undergoing large-scale anthropogenic change 
Environmental, nutritional and health impacts of wasted food recovery & redistribution
Impacts of large-scale agriculture on human health.

Dr. R. Wesley Farr, Lecturer, teaches environmental health, aerospace toxicology, global health, and infectious diseases for the UWF Department of Public Health

Farr is a physician with specialties in Infectious Diseases, Tropical Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Aerospace Medicine.  He continues part-time work in Infectious Diseases.

He was previously on the Infectious Diseases faculty at West Virginia University where he was Director of the International Health program, Director of the Clinical Tropical Medicine and Parasitology Course, and Activity Director of the annual AIDS in West Virginia Conference.

He retired from the US Navy in 2015 after serving as Senior Medical Officer on the USS Harry S Truman, Director of the Military Tropical Medicine Course, and Executive Officer of the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center.  He was a medical advisor to the ANA Regional Hospital in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan.

Before coming to UWF in 2018, he worked at Joint Ambulatory Care Center (VA) and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

He received his bachelor鈥檚 degree in Biology, Doctor of Medicine degree, and Masters in Public Health degree from West Virginia University.

Dr. Zeman teaches environmental health.  In the past she has taught epidemiology, anatomy and physiology for health sciences, toxicology, human diseases, environmental and occupational health regulations/policy, and complementary, alternative and integrative health. 
Dr. Zeman’s research has focused on the acute and chronic hematopoietic and immunotoxicological impacts of nitrate, children’s environmental health and learning, select pesticides and the development of methodologies for exposure assessment in epidemiological research. 
Dr. Zeman earned associates, bachelors of science and master’s of science degrees in nursing, cultural ecology and environmental science at Lewis & Clark and Southern Illinois University and a doctorate in preventive medicine, environmental and occupational health focus at the University of Iowa.
