Dr. Lane’s research focus are in the field of air pollution, built environment, urbanization and impacts of extreme weather on health in local, national and international settings. His expertise in big-data and spatial research has led to the development of novel methods that integrate geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing data and time-activity algorithms to improve exposure assessment and epidemiology. Dr. Lane also is director of the environmental health doctoral training program and teaches multiple GIS courses. Dr. Lane works on a number of research centers related to geospatial data-sharing and large data processing for health studies and is the Associate Director of the BUSPH Center for Health Data Science; and on the NIEHS funded CAFE Community of Practice and NIA funded Gateway Exposome Coordinating Center of Practice Research Coordinating Center. Dr. Lane also is principal investigator for the Federal Aviation Administration ASCENT Project 18 Community Measurements of Aviation Emissions Contribution to Ambient Air Quality. Additionally, he examines air pollution and temperature effects on cardio-metabolic health in India as a co-investigator on the Climate Health and Air (CHAIR) Pollution study, and works on additional studies examining the interactions between air pollution, climate and social stressors on the associations with adverse health outcomes such as preterm birth, low birthweight, menstrual health, PCOS, cardiovascular disease and mortality.
