Primary research interests involve viral and cancer epidemiology, especially as it relates to:

(i) the viral causes of cancer such as human papillomavirus (HPV) and simian virus 40 (SV40)

(ii) immunogenetic factors that influence viral infection with HPV, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV)

(iii) the effects of growth factors (e.g., IGF) on viral infection and tumorigenesis.
