Kirsten L. Greene, MD

Research Interests

Greene’s basic science research includes development of molecular diagnostics using complement immunology and telomerase reverse transcriptase. She conducted basic science research for three years on the role of the complement immune system on autoimmune disease and bacterial resistance. Most recently Greene worked with Rajvir Dahiya, PhD to explore epigenetic changes in prostate cancer.

Her clinical interests include outcomes research; decision analysis focusing on recurrence, survival, and quality of life after prostate cancer treatment; and development of guidelines for PSA screening. In a collaboration with the San Francisco Fire Department, Marshall Stoller, MD, Badrinath Konety, MD, MBA and Greene are evaluating the role of routine bladder cancer screening among firefighters and developing a longitudinal cohort for evaluation of all health conditions in this group.
