Epidemiologist and Director of the Mohn Centre for Children’s Health and Wellbeing

Leading authority in environmental epidemiology and population health research

Professor Mireille Toledano is Director of the Mohn Centre for Children’s Health and Wellbeing at Imperial College London and an epidemiologist with wide-ranging interests in the health effects of environmental exposures. She has substantial expertise in leading the design, set-up, and coordination of major cohort studies, including BEED, SCAMP and COSMOS, and has extensive experience working with large routine health datasets and spatial epidemiology.

Her expertise spans environmental epidemiology, population health, cohort study design, spatial epidemiology, and the analysis of large-scale health datasets, including cancer registrations, births, deaths and hospital admissions. Her research has examined the health impacts of environmental exposures, including water disinfection by-products, waste incineration, air and noise pollution, overhead power lines and mobile phone base stations, as well as national studies of adverse birth outcomes.

She is a member of several national and international advisory committees, including the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE), the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT), and the UN FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR). She is also a past Chair of the European Chapter of the International Society of Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE) and currently serves on the Editorial Board of Environmental Epidemiology.
