"My research is focused on DNA replication and maintenance of Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) which infect the stratified epithelium of the genital tract. There are currently 20 million Americans infected with genital HPVs with 5.5 million new infections reported each year... [T]he high-risk HPVs (Types 16, 18, and 31 for example) are associated with an increased likelihood for progression of lesions to malignant cancer." - Peter C. Angeletti, PhD
