Meet our Scientists
Our group is interested in the relationship between virus and cancer. One of our lines of investigation is “virus as the driving force of cancer”. Viral infection has long been associated with human cancer. One of the latest links is with Kaposi´s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), the etiologic agent of Kaposi´s sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman´s disease. |
