NIH research grant focused on HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers to develop targeted therapies and biomarkers for treatment resistance and sensitivity.
Description
This project explores how differences in the levels of a particular viral protein within each cancer influence how quickly it spreads and how well it responds to treatment. It aims to minimize treatment toxicity for easily curable patients while identifying more effective therapies for serious cases.
