Alisa Miriam Goldstein is an American genetic epidemiologist who researches the genetic and environmental causes of cancer. She is a senior investigator at the National Cancer Institute.
Goldstein received a Ph.D. in genetic epidemiology from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1988. [1] Her dissertation was titled, A genetic epidemiologic investigation of breast cancer in families with bilateral breast cancer. [2] Robert Haile was her doctoral advisor. [2] Goldstein completed a fellowship in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) InterInstitute Medical Genetics Program, and is board certified in medical genetics. [1]
Goldstein joined the National Cancer Institute's division of cancer epidemiology and genetics (DCEG). [1] She received NIH scientific tenure in 1997. [1] She is a senior investigator in the clinical genetics branch. [1] Her research focuses on genetic epidemiologic studies of several cancers, including melanoma and upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer. [1] The main goal of Goldstein's studies is to understand the role of genetic and environmental factors in the etiology of these cancers. [1] Her studies combine epidemiologic, genetic, clinical, and molecular methodologies. [1]
