Bruce Whyte is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow's School of Health & Wellbeing, affiliated with the Community Based Sciences department. His research focuses on public health, epidemiology, and health policy, with a strong emphasis on health inequalities and urban health challenges. He has collaborated extensively on studies addressing alcohol-related mortality, transport policy impacts, and early childhood health outcomes.

Key research interests include the intersection of urban planning and health, such as cycling trends, pedestrian commuting benefits, and road space reallocation. He also investigates socioeconomic determinants of health, including deprivation's role in infant feeding patterns and maternal smoking effects.

Recent publications highlight trends in 'diseases of despair,' alcohol policy evaluations, and the health benefits of active travel. His work integrates large-scale datasets, such as the Scottish Longitudinal Study and birth cohort analyses, to understand population health dynamics.
