Dr Suzanne Bartington trained in Medicine at Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge and University College London. She developed early research interests in infectious disease epidemiology as a member of the Millennium Cohort Study Child Health Group at the UCL Institute of Child Health. Her doctoral training supported by a Medical Research Council Studentship, examined seroprevalence of viral infections in early life using population-based oral fluid sample collection. Suzanne further developed her research interests in environmental epidemiology as an Honorary Clinical Research Fellow at the Department of Primary Care and Population Health, Imperial College London.

Suzanne joined the Department of Applied Health Sciences, 黑料吃瓜网 as a Public Health Specialty Registrar 2015. Since that time she established an interdisciplinary research group focusing on clean air science. Specific expertise includes environmental epidemiology, transport studies and public policy evaluation.

Her current research portfolio includes research funded by the , , .

In her role as UK Clean Air Champion Suzanne is a regular panellist and speaker at regional, national and international public and policy engagement events.

• BMedSci Public Health and Population Sciences (Global Health) Lecturer and Project Supervisor

Dr Bartington is an experienced doctoral supervisor and is willing to supervise students in the following areas:

• Indoor/outdoor air pollution exposure assessment
• Air quality and transport intervention evaluation
• Environmental and public health impacts of transport decarbonisation
• Active travel, physical activity and health inequalities

Suzanne is a Clinical Research Fellow in Environmental Health in the Department of Applied Health Sciences, an Honorary Consultant in Public Health at  Her research portfolio extends across ambient and indoor air quality, sustainable transport and environmental public policy.

Public Health Impacts of Ambient and Indoor Air Pollution

Suzanne is Principal Investigator for the  investigating impacts of COVID-19 air and noise quality and health in Oxford City utilising a cloud-based low-cost sensor network. The project, a collaboration with ,  , University of Oxford has supported rapid deployment of a low-cost air quality and acoustic sensor network in Oxford City, for evaluation of responsive COVID-19 interventions. Partners include Oxfordshire County Council, Oxford City Council, Ricardo Energy & Environment and Apertum.

The  led by Professor William Bloss is a £5M NERC funded initiative, led by the 黑料吃瓜网, in collaboration with over 20 cross sector partners, applying environmental science expertise to support the improvement of air quality, and associated health, environmental and economic benefits, across the West Midlands. As WM-Air Public Health lead Suzanne is leading development of a novel health and economic impact assessment tool to enable prediction, assessment and evaluation of future regional air quality policy scenarios.

Application of a multiplicity of datastreams for air quality and health impact evaluation in East Africa is a key focus of the EPSRC funded  project, led by Professor Francis Pope, School of Geography and Earth Sciences. The network brings together leading UK and East African researchers in air pollution, public health, social sciences and development studies to co-design new data science techniques to synthesise disparate data streams for improved understanding of historic, contemporary and future air quality.

Research undertaken by Suzanne in collaboration with the University of Rwanda College of Science and Technology in Kigali, Rwanda seeks to identify the health impacts of domestic biomass cooking and inform effective interventions for harm mitigation in low-income contexts.

Transport and Health 

Suzanne leads the multidisciplinary addressing future air quality challenges supported by . The network aim is to identify, prioritise and address new emerging indoor and outdoor air quality challenges linked to the UK low emission mobility revolution. Partners include co-investigators at nine UK universities, Public Health England and over 20 public, commercial and civic sector organisations.  

Health and Environmental Public Policy

Suzanne is Co-Investigator and public health lead for  led by  at the . The NERC funded study within Wave 1 of the  seeks to bring together policy analysts and policy makers from UK central government, devolved administrations and local and regional authorities, stakeholders from business and civil society organisations, and academics and researchers to explore forthcoming policy initiatives for their consequences (intended or unintended, positive or negative) on air quality.   

Responsive evaluation of local authority public health interventions is the focus of the   led by Professor Katherine Brown at the . Suzanne is a Co-Investigator for the  (one of four national units) providing natural experimental intervention evaluation with a focus on transport and infrastructure schemes.

Suzanne is also a member of the FUEL study team, led by Dr Miranda Pallan and Professor Peymane Adab at the Department of Applied Health Sciences. The FUEL study is an evaluation of the School Food Standards and related national policy in secondary schools in the West Midlands, funded by the  scheme.

Suzanne was an elected member of Oxfordshire County Council from 2017 – 2021. 

In autumn 2021 Suzanne was appointed as UKRI Regional Clean Air Champion for the Midlands to the north of England. This role supports the work of the , alongside the .

The programme is a £42.5 million investment that supports high quality research and innovation to:

• develop practical solutions for today’s air quality issues
• equip the UK to proactively tackle future air quality challenges.

Collaboration and impact

The champions will act as the central point for air quality research in their region:

• • Midlands to north of England
  • Wales
  • Scotland
  • Northern Ireland.

They will work to increase collaboration and impact across and beyond the programme.
