He has published over 250 peer-reviewed studies, about the impact of toxic chemicals on intellectual deficits, behavioural problems, and brain structure in children. He is ranked among the top 1% of most-cited scientists globally (Google Scholar: 34,283 citations; h-index 88; 5 publications with citations >1000; i10 index = 252). Professor Lanphear is the founding principal investigator for the HOME Study, a 20-year, prospective birth cohort continuously funded by NIH to examine the impact of early life exposures to a wide array of chemicals with neurobehavioral and cardiometabolic outcomes in children and adolescents. He is the co-principal investigator of the pan-Canadian MIREC neurobehavior study, a 600-person cohort examining the impact of gestational and childhood exposures to toxic chemicals on the development of learning and behavioural problems in children. Professor Lanphear was the founding director of an NIH-funded, interdisciplinary post-doctoral training program in paediatrics, psychology, and epidemiology.
