She has held numerous leadership roles within the American Society of Clinical Oncology, including service on the Diversity and Inclusion Committee, Health Policy Committee, Practice Health Task Force, Scientific Program Committee, and as Co-Chair of the Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) Task Force. She currently serves as Chair of the Governing Council of the LGBTQ+ Section of the American Medical Association.
For more than 20 years, Dr. Maingi’s research, education, and advocacy work have focused on addressing disparities in oncology and serious illness care, with particular emphasis on LGBTQIA+ and sexual and gender minority communities, women’s health, trauma-informed care, intersectionality, and equitable access to high-quality cancer care.

She is an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and, by courtesy, of Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Obedin-Maliver provides clinical care and strives to advance scientific knowledge, equity, and justice through her research and teaching. She focuses on promoting health equity and well-being for sexual and gender minority (SGM)/ lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual/aromantic (LGBTQIA+) people, with a special emphasis on sexual and reproductive health. She has NIH-funded work on cancer prevention, family building after cancer, and has been funded by the National Cancer Institute to help understand how endogenous and exogenous hormones relate to breast cancer development, develop novel survey tools to enhance their inclusiveness and accuracy in clinical care and research. She has also provided guidance to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines and Steering Committee on enhancing visibility, accuracy, and inclusion for LGBTQIA+ in oncology care.
Dr. Obedin-Maliver is also the Co-Director of The PRIDE Study (pridestudy.org), a longitudinal cohort of SGM individuals, and Co-PI of PRIDEnet (pridenet.org), a community-engagement network aimed at catalyzing LGBTQIA+ health research.
