Our research focuses on HPV vaccine initiation among low-income and minority groups in public healthcare settings. Our work to address racial/ethnic disparities in HPV vaccination rates in children and adolescents and in cervical cancer screenings in adult women has made us a world leader in HPV-related cancer prevention among minority communities.
Presently we have two HPV vaccine studies funded by Merck MISP.
