Career
Dr Shoji Nakayama holds MD and PhD degrees. He is certified as Public Health Specialist/Supervisor by Japan Board of Public Health and Social Medicine. He is Associate Editor of Environment International as well as Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology.

In 2005, Dr Nakayama was invited by the US Environmental Protection Agency and spent 6 years to conduct exposure research on contaminants of emerging concern. In 2011, Dr Nakayama joined the National Institute for Environmental Studies in Japan. Currently he is Deputy Director of the Japan Environment and Children’s Study Programme Office as well as Adjunct Professor of the St. Luke’s International University and the University of Tsukuba.

Dr Nakayama is a lead exposure scientist for the Japan Environment and Children’s Study (JECS), which is a longitudinal birth cohort study involving 100,000 mothers and children. He is devoted to human biomonitoring research. Exposome research is his most recent activity. He collaborates with US, Canada, EU and Asian researchers to advance and promote children’s environmental health.
