Our research spans four interconnected focus areas — each distinct in scope, but unified by a shared commitment to health equity and grounded in the community partnerships that make our work possible.

• Human-Centered Design of Health Technologies — Developing accessible, user-informed health innovations that translate emerging technologies into meaningful improvements in care.
• Homelessness & Health — Partnering with communities to address health disparities and improve access to prevention, screening, and treatment.
• Cervical Cancer Screening & Prevention — Expanding equitable access to cervical cancer prevention through novel screening approaches and community-based implementation.
• Community Health Worker Research & Workforce Development — Building evidence for community-driven models of care that strengthen connections between health systems and the people they serve.

Together, these efforts reflect our commitment to creating health technologies and systems that are equitable, impactful, and designed with communities — not just for them.
