Diana Lynn Miglioretti is an American biostatistician specializing in the availability[1] and effectiveness of breast cancer screening[2][3] and in radiation hazards from medical imaging;[4][5] she has also studied connections between Down syndrome and leukemia.[6] She is Dean's Professor of Public Health Sciences and head of the biostatistics division in the UC Davis School of Medicine.[7] She co-leads the U.S. Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium.

Education and career

[edit]

Miglioretti graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1992. She went to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health for graduate study in biostatistics, earning a master's degree in 1996 and completing her Ph.D. in 2000.[8] Her dissertation, Template Mixture Models for Functional Brain Mapping, was jointly supervised by Scott L. Zeger and Colin Craig McCulloch.[9][10]

After completing her Ph.D., she became a researcher in the Group Health CooperativeinSeattle, also holding an affiliate faculty position in biostatistics in the University of Washington.[11] She moved to the University of California, Davis as Dean's Professor in 2013,[11][12] and was named chief of the Division of Biostatistics in 2019.[12] Along with her position at Davis, she continues to hold an affiliation with the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute.[3][12]

Recognition

[edit]

Miglioretti was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2018.[13] She won the Distinguished Investigator Award of the Association of Clinical and Translational Science in 2000.[7]
