Kaiser Permanente Researcher Profiles


Laurel Habel, PhD, has been a research scientist at the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research since 1996. Dr. Habel obtained her master’s in public health in epidemiology from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1980 and her doctorate in epidemiology from the University of Washington, Seattle in 1996. Dr. Habel’s research interests include the etiology and progression of cancer and precursor lesions for cancer; mammographic density and other biomarkers of disease risk or progression; and the association between use of medications and cancer risk. She is the principal investigator or site principal investigator on several federally-funded research projects. 

Current Position(s):

  • Research Scientist III, Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Northern California

Section Affiliations:

Primary Research Interests:

  • Breast cancer etiology and progression
  • Etiology and progression of precursor lesions for cancer
  • Mammographic density and other biomarkers of disease risk or progression
  • Use of medication and cancer risk

    Radiomic and genomic predictors of breast cancer risk

    Creating more personalized breast cancer risk prediction models would enhance the benefits and limit the harms of routine breast cancer screening. This study aims to evaluate the performance of multi-feature image risk score (radiomics) models in a large population-based cohort; determine whether image-based scores predict breast cancer risk independently of clinical and genetic predictors; and transfer the best image-based algorithm from 2D to 3D images.

    Developing a TPMG Pathway for Selective Oncotype DX Testing in Early Breast Cancer

    The goal of this project is to determine whether Ki-67 testing, using newer methods, could be used as a replacement for Oncotype DX testing in selected patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

    Funder: TPMG Delivery Science Projects Program

    Improved Selection of BRCA-negative High-Risk Women for Breast MRI Screening through Validation of IBIS Risk Model Variants

    The goal of this project is to identify the optimal IBIS model that maximizes screening benefits and minimizes harms. We hypothesize that the “full” model (with all breast cancer risk factors) has better calibration/discrimination compared to a reduced model that includes age and family history only. We also hypothesize that that “full” model will improve cancer yield without affecting MRI referrals.

    Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis of Mammographic Density

    This study will combine functional data from gene expression and co-expression networks with GWAS data to elucidate the genetic determinants of mammographic density, an important risk factor for breast cancer.
    Investigator: Habel, Laurel
    Funder: National Cancer Institute

    NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) – KP Community Site

    The overarching goal of the KP NCORP Community Site is to bring the benefits of medical advances to our racially and ethnically diverse membership and to the community at large by increasing clinical trial access/accrual and by conducting cancer care delivery research (CCDR).
    Investigator: Habel, Laurel
    Funder: National Cancer Institute

    Multi-panel Gene Mutation Testing and Targeted Therapy -STRATA Program

    Identify KPNC patients with metastatic/incurable cancer for testing of tumors by next generation sequencing (NGS). NGS screening protocol is aligned to a portfolio of pharma-sponsored therapeutic protocols open now or theoretically open in the future, in addition to treatment off study or on NCI or non-STRATA trials.
