About
Faruque Parvez is a leading researcher in environmental health and molecular epidemiology, with a particular focus on the health impacts of arsenic exposure and other environmental toxicants. His major contributions include pioneering work on the mechanisms of arsenic-induced carcinogenesis and cardiovascular disease, as well as the development of biomarkers for early detection of exposure-related diseases. Parvez’s research has been instrumental in understanding how chronic exposure to arsenic in drinking water—a critical public health issue affecting millions globally—leads to increased risks of cancer, diabetes, and developmental disorders. His work has garnered over 10,000 citations, reflecting its profound influence on environmental health policy and clinical practice. Notably, Parvez has led large-scale cohort studies in Bangladesh, one of the most arsenic-affected regions, and his findings have directly informed World Health Organization guidelines. He has also received prestigious awards, including the NIH Director’s Award, for his translational research bridging environmental exposure science and public health interventions.
