The CHDS Cervical Cancer Team, including Nicole Campos, Jenny Spencer, Emily Burger, and Allison Portnoy, and led by CHDS faculty Jane Kim, presented their latest research findings at the 36th International Papillomavirus Conference (IPVC) held in Edinburgh, Scotland. Their work included:
- Senior research scientist Nicole Campos discussing the HPV-Automated Visual Evaluation (PAVE) strategy for cervical cancer in resource limited settings and an associated framework for designing a cost-effective cervical cancer screening campaign strategy;
- University of Texas at Austin assistant professor and former CHDS post-doctoral fellow Jenny Spencer with a poster on adapting a microsimulation model of cervical carcinogenesis to reflect black women in the United States and Australia;
- CHDS research scientist and University of Oslo associate professor Emily Burger presenting on the population-level health impacts of hypothetical waning single-dose HPV vaccination and 2-dose mitigation strategies in a high cervical cancer burden setting; and
- Assistant Professor at Boston University School of Public Health and former post-doctoral fellow, Allison Portnoy presenting on the health impact of single-dose nonavalent HPV vaccination in Low- and Middle-Income countries.
This year’s conference theme was, “Equitable, Evidence-Based Approaches to HPV Disease” and was structured as a platform for the sharing of cutting-edge, international, HPV research. Workshops provided an opportunity for delegates to hear developments in three broad areas: basic science, clinical science, and public health, epidemiology and implementation science.
