Research Focus
Dr. Surbhi Grover's lab at the University of Pennsylvania focuses on improving cancer care in low- and middle-income countries, with a specific emphasis on addressing delays in treatment for cervical cancer in Botswana. The research seeks to identify practical strategies that enable timely treatment after diagnosis by analyzing barriers and enhancing communication and care coordination. Through innovative study designs, the lab aims to create sustainable solutions that improve health outcomes for women facing cervical cancer, especially in contexts with high HIV prevalence.
