Jessica Y. Islam, PhD, MPH is an Assistant Professor of Cancer Epidemiology at Moffitt Cancer Center. She is a cancer epidemiologist and health services researcher focused on evaluating and intervening on cancer care disparities across the continuum, at the intersection of infections and cancer. Her research interests include inequities in cancer care delivery among underserved populations and the prevention of cancers caused by infection. Specifically, one of Dr. Islam's research programs focuses on cervical cancer prevention by evaluating trends in guideline-adherent screening nationally, improving standard cervical cancer screening modalities to underserved populations, and evaluating disparities in screening follow-up in the US. Dr. Islam’s research program also focuses on evaluating cancer care outcomes among people living with HIV (PWH) in the US using multi-payer health insurance claims and large cancer-focused databases. Specifically, she focuses on inequities in cancer care delivery to PWH starting from cancer screening to survivorship care to ultimately improve the quality of life and survival associated with cancer. She received her BA and MPH from Vanderbilt University and her Ph.D. in Epidemiology from UNC, Chapel Hill.
