Jasmin Tiro is a Professor in the Department of Public Health Sciences at the University of Chicago and serves as the Associate Director of Cancer Prevention and Population Science for the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center. Her research focuses on improving cancer care delivery through a behavioral science lens, particularly examining the multi-level determinants of cancer prevention and early detection behaviors, including HPV vaccination and screening for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers. She utilizes mixed methods to develop, test, and implement effective interventions. Despite the availability of screening tests and the HPV vaccine, significant disparities exist in health behaviors across populations, necessitating research that promotes equity in cancer outcomes. Tiro’s work emphasizes the importance of community engagement and policy context in implementing sustainable health interventions, enriched by emerging technologies such as home-based HPV self-screening. Her interface with intervention implementation science aims to optimize cancer outcomes by effectively translating knowledge from research to clinical practice.
