OUT TODAY in @MicrobeTweets Tumour Virus Research: Nearly everyone gets #HPV. Most infections are cleared by the immune system, but a small fraction go on to cause ~5% of all cancers. #Genomics is revealing why. @LisaMirabello_ & I review the latest. 1/8 doi.org/10.1016/j.tvr.…


HPV vaccination pre-sexual debut eliminates HPV16/18 infection; when administered after debut, infections reduced by 40%, compared to no vax. Clinicians should stress timely HPV vax. #OAResearch @didem_eg @liccheung @NCIEpiTraining ja.ma/3sh0029



Congrats to Dr. de Smith who was awarded a major grant from the @theNCI to conduct a comprehensive study, led by a team of investigators at USC Norris, of the role of germline genetic variation in the increased risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Hispanics/Latinos.
