Dr. Doubeni is a clinical epidemiologist whose research focuses on improving the care continuum related to disease prevention and screening, with colorectal cancer (CRC) as a model. He has led major studies (h-index >70) demonstrating the effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening as well as harmful variations in the quality of cancer screening, lack of appropriate follow-up care for abnormal screening tests, and health system and societal barriers that lead to inequitable care.

He authors colorectal cancer screening topics in UpToDate. He serves on major US panels, including the National Cancer Institute Board of Scientific Advisors, National Cancer Advisory Board Working Group, President’s Cancer Panel subcommittee and US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF, 2017-2021).
