Heather M. Brandt, PhD is director of the HPV Cancer Prevention Program at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Dr. Brandt serves as the co-associate director of outreach for the St. Jude Comprehensive Cancer Center and works closely with members of the St. Jude Epidemiology and Cancer Control Department. Her applied research program in cancer prevention and control is focused on examining, describing, and intervening upon cancer-related health disparities through innovative and engaged approaches in partnership with the “community” (defined broadly and diversely) emphasizing dissemination and implementation of evidence-based approaches, knowledge-based practice, and co-creating knowledge with stakeholders in order to address disparities through informed action on multiple levels. In short, her research is focused on getting what we know works into widespread practice for maximum health benefits.
She is available to discuss any of the above and specifically the prevention of HPV-associated cancers - including cervical cancers - along with other relevant topics in the space.
