Dr Dan Middleton is a Lecturer and cancer epidemiologist in Queen’s University Belfast’s Centre for Public Health. He studies how environmental and occupational exposures shape cancer risk, combining spatial exposure maps, linked health data and biological samples.

Current projects estimate the lung cancer burden from air pollution and radon in the UK, and investigate environmental drivers of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. He also collaborates on non-invasive early detection for bladder cancer, generating evidence for prevention and policy.
