Research Focus

The Section of Virology and Immunotherapy focuses on studying the interplay between viruses and cancer.  The laboratory investigates mechanisms of viral oncogenesis and novel viral-based therapeutics for cancer.  A key component of our research is to advance our understanding of the cancer vir-ome, glioma immunology, and novel drug targets. Housed within the University of Miami Brain Tumor Institute, the SVI is primarily focused on rapidly translating these discoveries to advance the treatment of malignant brain tumors.
