​Marvin Langston, PhD, MPH, joined the Division of Research at Kaiser Permanente Northern California in 2019 as a University of California San Francisco/Kaiser K12 scholar in Benign Urology. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Notre Dame, an MPH degree in Epidemiology from Saint Louis University, and a PhD in Epidemiology with a minor in spatial statistics from the University of Arizona. Doctoral dissertation work was supported by a National Cancer Institute (NCI) minority supplement. Dr. Langston completed postdoctoral training in Cancer Prevention and Control at Washington University in Saint Louis supported by an NCI T32 grant. Dr. Langston's postdoctoral work focused on infections, inflammation, and cancer risk using a variety of clinical and molecular approaches. His current program of research largely consists of the epidemiology of urologic conditions, including benign prostate and pelvic conditions as well as prostate cancer. His long-term goal is to harmonize molecular and clinical aspects of urological condition diagnoses to produce well-characterized outcomes for biomarker discovery and etiological investigation.
