Early life and college

[edit]

Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo was born in Stuttgart, Germany[7] while her father was stationed in the country. Bibbins-Domingo attended Eleanor Roosevelt, a public science tech high school in Maryland.

She graduated from Princeton University in 1987 with a degree in molecular biology and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.[8] She then received a PhD in biochemistry, an MD, and a Masters in Clinical Research from the University of California, San Francisco. Her Ph.D. advisor was Harold E. Varmus.[9] Bibbins-Domingo also studied chemistry[5] at the University of Ibadan.[5]

Career

[edit]

Bibbins-Domingo is an NIH funded investigator who uses observational studies, simulation models, and pragmatic trials to understand the development of cardiovascular risk and examine the impact of clinical and public health approaches to cardiovascular disease prevention.[10]

Her work published in the New England Journal of Medicine highlighted the high rate of incident heart failure among African American men and women before age 50[11] She has also published on the impact or adolescent obesity on future rates of cardiovascular disease in young adults.[12] She has led two NIH center grants focused on disparities in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke in young adulthood.[13]

Her work has examined the population health impact of policy approaches to reduce consumption of salt [14] and sugary beverages.[15] in the US and in other countries.[16] These publications helped inform policy changes and public health interventions, including taxation of sugary beverages and interventions aimed at population-wide reductions in dietary sodium.

Bibbins-Domingo published a series of cost-effectiveness analyses on the PCSK-9 inhibitor medications in JAMA and Annals of Internal Medicine.[17][18]

In 2016, she was named chair of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and led the US Preventive Services Task Force during several high-profile recommendations on breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer.[19] six years after she became a member of the task force.[5] In 2017, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force changed their recommendation on PSA testing for prostate cancer[20] and Bibbins-Domingo appeared on PBS in 2017 to describe this decision.[21]
