Alfred Poulos has a PhD from London University, a law degree from Adelaide University and a professorship from Adelaide University, for his research into genetic diseases, fats and fat metabolism. He held the position of Chief Medical Scientist at the Adelaide Women's and Children's Hospital in Adelaide, South Australia, for many years and has published over 150 papers in the international scientific and medical journals. He is a current member of the Human Research Ethics Committee of Alfred Health in Melbourne, reviewing medical and other health-related research projects. While Professor Poulos' medical and scientific research has been wide and varied, it has chiefly focused on the role fats play in health and disease. His recent interests are in nutrition, and in the chemical pollutants present in our food, water and the environment. This interest led to his publication of The Silent Threat (2005), a book that provides consumers with information on the source of many of these chemicals as well as their possible effects on our health and The Secret Life of Chemicals (Springer, 2021).
