Шаблон:Infobox academic Diana S.M. Buist is an American epidemiologist. She is a senior investigator and director of research and strategic partnerships at Kaiser Permanente Washington Research Institute.

Early life and education

Buist was born to the United Kingdom born physician-researchers Sonia and Neil Buist.[1] She earned her PhD in epidemiology from the University of Washington and her MPH in the same subject from Yale University.[2]

Career

Upon earning her PhD, Buist joined the faculty at the Kaiser Permanente Washington Research Institute (formerly known as the Group Health Research Institute) in 1996.[3] She earned her doctorate degree while working full-time as a research associate in Kaiser Permanente women's health group.[4] In 2003, Buist was appointed the leader of the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium registry in Washington.[1] While serving in this role, she received $4 million in federal stimulus funding for her research into improving screening for colorectal and cervical cancer.[5] A few years later, Buist was the senior investigator in a study which found that when women quit hormone therapy, their rates of new breast cancer declined.[6]

In 2015, Buist was named the Group Health Research Institute's director of research and strategic partnerships, while continuing her work as a senior investigator pursuing funded scientific research.[3] During the same year, she co-authored a study with Constance D. Lehman and Diana L. Miglioretti which found that computer-aided detection for breast cancer screening was not as effective as previously conceived.[7] In 2019, Buist was the co-author of another research project which determined a self-collected HPV test provided similar results to those of a physician-collected sample.[8]
