Biography

Professor John Doorbar works in the Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on Human papillomaviruses (HPVs), particularly their role in human cancers and benign diseases. He investigates treatment options, including antivirals and the effect of vaccination on disease recurrence. Through his laboratory, he aims to understand the mechanisms of HPV infection and its relationship with disease, utilizing a range of techniques from antibody development to patient tissue analysis. His past work has successfully detailed the papillomavirus life cycle and the interaction of these viruses with host systems. Future studies will further explore the molecular basis of HPV life-cycle regulation and its impact on epithelial tropisms and neoplasia. His work seeks not only to elucidate the viral life processes but also to develop effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for HPV-related conditions.
