Biography

Dorothy Wiley is a Professor at the UCLA School of Nursing, with clinical expertise in community public health prevention strategies, particularly focusing on sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV and HPV. She has led significant research initiatives to develop strategies that assist the body in fighting HPV infections, including prominent roles in UCLA’s randomized clinical trials which significantly contributed to the approval of the HPV vaccine for use in the U.S. Her work primarily emphasizes early diagnosis and treatment of HPV-related pre-cancerous conditions. Dr. Wiley actively educates clinicians and the public about HPV and vaccination compliance, aiming to bridge the gap in vaccine uptake among youth and adults. Her scholarly areas extend to sexuality, cancer screening, cancer prevention, vaccine efficacy, and the epidemiology of HPV infection. She employs rigorous epidemiological methods to identify health and disease patterns within human populations, contributing profoundly to public health outcomes, especially in adolescent and adult health contexts.
