He has served on four National Academy of Sciences expert committees dealing with food safety and was a member of the National Academy’s Food and Nutrition Board. In the mid-1990s, he worked with the Food Safety Inspection Service in the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the first major revision of food safety regulations since 1906 and has continued to work on scientific and regulatory approaches to control of foodborne diseases. Dr. Duc J. Vugia was trained in internal medicine and infectious diseases before embarking on his public health career starting as a foodborne disease epidemiologist with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Epidemic Intelligence Service in 1990 and then continuing with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) in 1994. Since 1995, Dr. Vugia has been Chief of the Infectious Diseases Branch at CDPH where he worked with local, state, and federal partners to address foodborne, waterborne, vector-borne, zoonotic, and emerging infectious diseases.
