Daniel Wiese, PhD, is a principal scientist in the Cancer Disparities Research program under Surveillance, Prevention, & Health Services Research (SPHeRe) at the American Cancer Society (ACS). His research includes the application of geospatial analysis techniques in cancer disparities research, including incidence, survival, and mortality.
Research focus and accomplishments
Wiese’s specialization is geographic health disparities research. He is interested in integrating remote sensing- and GIS-derived products into cancer disparities research.
For his dissertation, Wiese used residential histories of all colon cancer patients from New Jersey to evaluate the effects of social and spatial mobility on their survival.
Additionally, Wiese’s research is focused on measuring a neighborhood’s social environment (such as socioeconomic status and residential segregation) and aesthetics (such as landscape characteristics) in order to understand the role living conditions have on people with cancer.
