Jennifer Tsui

Building connections between disciplines, Jennifer Tsui explores the intricate landscape of cancer care disparities and outcomes as an Associate Professor of Population and Public Health Sciences at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. Her research is dedicated to understanding and addressing the disparities in cancer care delivery and outcomes, with a particular focus on racial/ethnic minority and low-income populations. Jennifer's work is pivotal in identifying the systemic barriers that contribute to these disparities and finding ways to mitigate them. Currently, Jennifer leads a significant study aimed at investigating the health care organizational and delivery factors that influence care transitions among breast and colorectal cancer patients who have Medicaid coverage. This research is crucial in identifying the gaps in care that these patients face and developing strategies to improve their health outcomes. Her work not only sheds light on the challenges within the healthcare system but also provides a foundation for policy changes that can lead to more equitable care. In addition to her work on cancer care disparities, Jennifer is deeply involved in research related to HPV vaccination. She examines the barriers to vaccine uptake in low-income minority communities, aiming to increase vaccination rates and reduce the incidence of HPV-related cancers. Her research in this area is vital for public health, as it seeks to protect vulnerable populations from preventable diseases. Jennifer's interdisciplinary approach and commitment to health equity make her a leading figure in her field. Her work is characterized by a deep understanding of the social determinants of health and a dedication to improving health outcomes for underserved communities. Through her research, Jennifer continues to contribute to the broader understanding of health disparities and the development of interventions that promote health equity.
