Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

HD4

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

HD4

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

HD4

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

HD4

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

HD4

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

HD4

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

HD4

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

HD4

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

HD4

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.

Dr Khreis is passionate about connecting rigorous science with policy and practice, and about building the relationships, partnerships and interdisciplinary networks needed to translate evidence into change, helping cities respond to the intertwined challenges of air pollution, climate change and health.

Research Interest

Dr Khreis studies the linkages between transport planning and policy, environmental exposures, and human health. She specialises in air pollution as one environmental exposure on the pathway between transportation and health and have experience in other exposures such as transport noise, and green space. She has conducted multiple burden of disease and health impact assessments of air pollution and various health endpoints including premature mortality and childhood asthma, and adulthood asthma and COPD. She also has an interest and experience in aetiological analysis of air and noise pollution and health effects.

Profile

Dr Haneen KHREIS

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr Haneen Khreis is a cross-disciplinary scientist working at the intersection of air pollution, climate change, transport, urban planning and population health. She is a Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge’s IMS Epidemiology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban environments and transport systems shape environmental exposures and population health outcomes, and on translating evidence into effective, equitable policies and healthier cities.

Dr Khreis has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and book chapters, edited three books, and over the last ten years, secured more than $15 million in competitive research funding. She mentored more than 40 researchers and students and developed cross-disciplinary titled “Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Emissions, Human Exposures, and Health.”. Her work spans environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, health impact and burden of disease assessment, transport and urban policy evaluation, and the development of tools to support evidence-based decision-making. Her research has examined traffic-related air pollution, childhood asthma, neurodegenerative disease, active and public transport policies, low-traffic neighbourhoods, Barcelona’s Superblocks, and the health and climate implications of urban policy interventions.

She is currently the Principal Investigator of HAVEN (HArms and Critical Windows of Combined EnVironmENtal Exposures to Air Pollutants and Heat), a four-year Wellcome-funded research programme investigating the health effects of combined air pollution and heat exposures, with a focus on childhood respiratory health and critical windows of susceptibility. HAVEN integrates epidemiological and toxicological evidence with population health modelling to inform and accelerate climate action.

She is also a member of the UK Government’s Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), an independent expert committee that advises the UK Government on all matters related to the health effects of air pollution and related policy questions. She has contributed her expertise to international organisations and initiatives including the World Health Organization, Health Effects Institute and the Clean Air Fund, which she advises.

Her current work in Singapore through the HD4 project integrates high-resolution air pollution exposure assessment with health endpoints and clinical markers, creating a foundation for future transport and urban policy assessment and population health modelling to examine how urban systems can be redesigned to deliver healthier and more sustainable cities.
