Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [8]
Overview
Roxana Moslehi, Ph.D. is a genetic epidemiologist. Most of her research is dedicated to the study of cancer and cancer precursors. Born in Iran and raised in Canada, she is currently an assistant professor in Epidemiology and Statistics at the State University of New York (SUNY), where she has developed a course entitled "genetic epidemiology”. Through her research she has been contributing to the understanding of hereditary causes of diseases as well as the influence of gene-environment interactions on the risk of developing disease.
Education
Roxana received her B.Sc. with honors, M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada. Following her Ph.D., she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) under the supervision of Dr. Mitchell Gail. While being a postdoctoral fellow at NIH, she also received an adjunct assistant professor position at George Washington University (GWU), where she developed a course entitled "controversies in cancer epidemiology" with Dr. Paul Levine.
Research
Working with Steven Narod and J.M. Friedman, she was first to estimate the penetrance of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations for breast, ovarian and other cancers in a study of Jewish women with ovarian cancer,[1] now the most studied hereditary cancer predisposing genes in the human genome. She has also made significant contributions in the research on modifies of breast and ovarian cancer risk [2] as well as research on other cancers such as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma [3] and on cancer precursors [4], [5], [6].
Awards
Roxana Moslehi is a recipient of multiple awards and honors, including the Award for Excellence in Teaching (UBC), a Biovision Fellowship from Académie des Sciences (France) and two Awards for Research Excellence from the NIH.
Trivia
In addition to her scientific career she has also done professional runway modeling for fashion shows.
