Biography:
Dr. Andrew Hyland has more than 25 years of experience doing tobacco control research. He has conducted numerous funded clinical and population-based studies, published more than 300 papers, and is widely recognized nationally and internationally for his expertise, including advisory roles for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Cancer Institute and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. From 2006-2016, he served as the Deputy Editor for the scientific journal Tobacco Control, the leading international journal for tobacco control scientists.
As the Chair of the Department of Health Behavior at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, he directs the New York State Smokers Quitline and has contracts with the New York State Department of Health to work with community and clinical stakeholders to advance their tobacco control work plan. He serves as the Scientific Leader of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study, which is supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to study more than 46,000 adults and children nationally over a 14-year period to understand changes in tobacco use behaviors and health. Dr. Hyland is a co-investigator for the International Tobacco Control Study, tracking cohorts of tobacco users in 29 countries to evaluate tobacco control policies.

Research
Research Overview:
Dr. Hyland’s research focuses on primary prevention and providing an evidence base to inform population-based tobacco regulations that serve to reduce the disease burden caused by tobacco. He oversees both service and research efforts that are focused on moving populations to reduce their cancer risk, particularly through evidence-based policy implementation such as smoke-free air policies and tobacco product regulation. Dr. Hyland also takes on other important policy-relevant topics in tobacco control research, including identifying strategies to boost the reach and efficacy of stop smoking intervention, assessing the effectiveness of mass media anti-smoking campaigns, evaluating the impact of changes in product design and packaging, and surveillance of tobacco use, the tobacco industry and other tobacco-related issues.
