Presentation: "Interactive effects of heat and air pollution on mortality: innovative methodological approaches"
Dr. Stafoggia, Department of Epidemiology at the Lazio Region Health Service, is a biostatistician and Senior Researcher who contributed to the planning and implementation of several environmental epidemiology studies, at the Italian (SISTI, EPIAIR 1 and 2) and European levels (HEAPSS, AIRGENE, ESCAPE, EXHAUSTION, ELAPSE, EXPANSE, MCC Collaborative Network), aimed at investigating the relationship between environmental exposures and adverse health outcomes. He has been Principal Investigator of the EU-funded project MED-PARTICLES: “Particles size and composition in Mediterranean countries: geographical variability and short-term health effects,” and co- P.I. of the Italian projects BEEP: “Big Data in Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology,” and BIGEPI: “Use of BIG data for the investigation of the acute and chronic effects of air pollution in the Italian population.” In the last years, he has been involved in several national and international projects aimed at developing spatiotemporal models to predict daily PM concentrations at fine spatial grid in Italy, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland and UK, by use of satellite data. Among these, he is referent of Italy for the NASA-led project, MAIA.
