\n\t\tInfections and cancer\n\t<\/h1>\n

\n\t\tSummary\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

The Infections and Cancer group focusses on the fight between viruses and hosts, from an evolutionary perspective: the antiviral mechanisms which animals have developed and the antiviral strategies which have contributed to virus selection. It researches the connection between infection and cancer, as exemplified by the human papilloma virus (HPV).<\/p>\n
