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.
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]
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]
