The UConn Department of Public Health Sciences is proud to welcome Dr. Monika Doshi as our newest faculty member.
Dr. Doshi’s research reflects a deep commitment to advancing health equity and addressing disparities among underserved, marginalized, and vulnerable populations. Her work has focused on HIV prevention, care, and treatment; mental health; women’s health; gender and sexuality; stigma and discrimination; chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes; and health and human rights.
In addition to these longstanding areas of scholarship, Dr. Doshi’s more recent research has expanded to examine how policy, community, institutional, and interpersonal factors influence the health and wellbeing of U.S.-based Latinx communities within the context of immigration. By investigating the multi-layered challenges these communities face, her work sheds light on the intersections between health, social justice, and policy.
With her broad expertise and dedication to public health, Dr. Doshi strengthens our department’s mission to improve population health and advance health equity through research, education, and community engagement. We are excited to see the impact her contributions will bring to both UConn and the communities we serve.
