Djin Tay, PhD, RN (she/her/hers)

Assistant Professor
University of Utah
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

Dr. Tay is a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the University of Utah's College of Nursing. Her research focuses on the implications of emerging treatments on caregiving, decision-making, palliative care, and the end-of-life in the context of the family using population science approaches. Her dissertation, predoctoral, and postdoctoral research has focused on caregivers since 2013. During her pre-and postdoctoral training, she examined communication, stress processes, and contextual factors impacting hospice cancer caregivers’ wellbeing (5P01CA138317; PI Mooney, Program leader: Ellington, NR016249; PI Ellington, role: post-doctoral fellow, Co-I). Since 2019 her research has expanded to population datasets. She currently serves as Associate Director of the Utah Caregiving Population Data Science Initiative (C-PopS) with Dr. Stephens (Director). Her population science collaborations include analyses with the Danish Population Registers (PI: Ornstein, Johns Hopkins University) and the Utah Population Database (UPDB)'s Utah C-PopS dataset, a UPDB cohort consisting of 216,913 decedents and 743,874 of their first-degree family members. She also leads as PI on two novel population cohorts, the Immunotherapy, Palliative, End-of-Life Treatment Utilization and Spousal Outcomes-ImmPETUS cohort (UPDB-based cohort of melanoma, lung, breast, colorectal, head and neck, and bladder cancer patients and their spouses/partners; PI Tay), and a Flatiron Electronic Health Record Derived national cohort, the Health INequiTies in ImmunE-related adveRSe Events among Cancer paTients (INTERSECT; Flatiron Health Equity Award, Co-PIs Tay, Guo; American Cancer Society Intramural Grant Award, PI Tay). Dr. Tay maintains an active record of publications (45 peer-reviewed publications including 11 first authored).
