💡 Virology - Emerging Viruses Group is led by Dr Georgia Schäfer.

🔬🦠🩻 The Group’s research centres around the infection dynamics of oncogenic viruses, particularly in high HIV-prevalence regions of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Adopting a translational research approach and with the long-term aim to develop novel preventative and diagnostic tools, we are focusing on host-pathogen interactions of three major contributors to cancer in HIV-infected individuals who are at considerably higher risk of developing virus-associated malignancies: Kaposi’s sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and Human papillomavirus (HPV).
