Title: Targeting HPV Oncogene-Induced Alterations in Cervical Cancer
Topic: Human papillomaviruses (HPV) cause over 90% of cervical cancers, which kill someone every 90 seconds. These tumors are initiated and maintained by HPV oncogene-induced alterations in cell signaling. This seminar will describe our efforts to characterize these changes and leverage them to identify less toxic ways of threating cervical cancers.
Speaker: Nicholas Wallace, PhD, Professor, Kansas State University
Host: Laimonis Laimins, Professor and Chair, Dept. of Microbiology-Immunology
