Hans Verhoef PhD

Hans Verhoef trained as a clinical epidemiologist, nutritionist, and entomologist, and has a research interest in micronutrient malnutrition and infectious diseases. He also has an appointment as a Senior Lecturer at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK. Research on malaria has been a thread throughout my scientific career. He is particularly focused on the implementation of innovative, applied research that drives health policies and programs in developing countries.

Before my scientific career, He was employed by WHO as a medical entomologist in the Solomon Islands to assist in the nationwide control of malaria, and at its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, to develop research projects and policies on the links between agriculture, water use, and vector-borne diseases, particularly in West Africa.
