Preventing Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, claiming the lives of 266,000 annually. Nearly all cases are caused by HPV. But with the advent of the HPV vaccine, which was pioneered by CCR researchers Douglas Lowy, M.D., and John Schiller, Ph.D., prevention of this disease is possible. Read more about Lowy’s and Schiller’s ongoing work here.
Looking for Answers in Nature
Many of our researchers are exploring plants, sea life and other organisms collected from all over the world by NCI’s Natural Products Branch to see if these natural products may be candidates for drug development. Read more here.
Connecting Distinguished International Colleagues
