Epidemiologist, Infections and Cancer,Tenure-Track/Tenured Investigator Position

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Research at the IIB focuses on understanding the causes and mechanisms involved in the development of tumors linked to infectious agents and in understanding the mechanisms underlying successful immune responses as they relate to cancer risk and to successful responses to vaccination. Both infectious and host immunological factors are considered in the context of human epidemiological studies. Studies undertaken by the group are often large, international and include rich biological specimen components to permit in-depth evaluation of biological processes, including immunological and inflammatory mechanisms, involved in tumor development using state-of-the-art techniques. The Branch houses the 7,500 woman community-based vaccine trial in Costa Rica designed to evaluate the efficacy and impact of a new HPV-16/18 virus-like particle vaccine and has an active set of studies aimed at evaluating the role of numerous infectious agents (including EBV, HIV, HPV, HTLV-1, and KSHV) and tumor sites (including cervical cancer, gastric cancer, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and oral/oropharyngeal cancers). Recent efforts have also begun to explore how the microbiome might affect immunity and long-term cancer risk.
