Description:

Title: Human Papillomaviruses and Cancer: Tales from the Dark Side

Topic:

Approximately 5% of all human cancers are attributed to infections by Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs). The HPV E6 and E7 proteins are the major carcinogenic drivers, and they function by subverting key signaling pathways including those governed by the p53, PTPN14,  and retinoblastoma (Rb) tumor suppressor proteins. This lecture will focus on long non-coding RNAs as potential regulators of the viral life cycle and modulators of the oncogenic activities of the HPV E6 and E7 proteins

Speaker: Karl Munger, PhD, Professor and Chair, Tufts University

Host: M-I Dept. Virology Students and Postdocs/Arushi Vats, PhD, Coordinating Host
