Roxana Moslehi (Persian: رکسانا مصلحی) is an Iranian-born genetic epidemiologist.

Her research is on cancer and cancer precursors, including work on radiation-induced cancer of the eyes,[1] and ethnic differences in breast cancer incidence.[2] Born in Iran and raised there and in Canada,[1] she is an associate professor in epidemiology and biostatistics at the University at Albany in New York state.[3]

Education and career

Moslehi received her Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and PhD degrees from the University of British Columbia;[3] her 2000 PhD was supervised by J. M. Friedman and Steven Narod.[4] She was a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institutes of Health Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics before taking her present position at the University of Albany.[3]
