Daniel Haydon is a Professor of Population Ecology and Epidemiology at the University of Glasgow, affiliated with the School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine. He joined the university in 2004 after completing a PhD at the University of Texas at Austin and postdoctoral positions at Oxford, UBC, Edinburgh, and Guelph. From 2010–2022, he served as Director of the Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health and Comparative Medicine, which later merged to form the current School. He convenes the School's Fellowship Committee and leads the College Futures theme in Planetary Health.
His research integrates quantitative approaches in ecology and epidemiology. Key interests include:
- Community structure/function, stability in food webs/competitive networks
- Spatial population dynamics, movement models, and population viability
- Wildlife/livestock/zoonotic disease epidemiology using pathogen genomics
- Innovative seroprevalence analysis and outbreak size prediction
His recent articles (2023–2025) focus on:
- Disease dynamics (rabies, brucellosis, RVF, leptospirosis)
- Ecological modeling methodologies (observation processes, isotope geolocation)
- Agroecology and conservation (cocoa farms, pollinator habitats)
- One Health economics (vaccine valuation, farmer wellbeing)
Daniel actively supports academic development as Fellowship Committee convenor and contributes to the University's Planetary Health strategy. He maintains collaborations across continents, particularly in Tanzania and Ghana.
