Dick J. J. Heederik - Epidemiology

Author Information

Dick J.J. Heederik is affiliated with the Division of Environmental Epidemiology, Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences at Utrecht University, located in Utrecht, The Netherlands. His extensive research focuses on environmental epidemiology with a particular interest in the intersection of human health and environmental exposures.

Research Contributions

Dick J.J. Heederik has made substantial contributions to the field of environmental epidemiology, particularly in understanding the interactions between environmental exposures and human health. In 2022 alone, he co-authored numerous papers addressing critical topics such as the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in nursing home environments, the impact of proximity to livestock on respiratory disease mortality, and the role of farm dust in viral metagenomic surveillance. His work also extends to examining antimicrobial resistance in various settings, including animal faeces and farm environments. Heederik's research is pivotal in informing public health strategies and policies, especially concerning zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance.
