Advances in understanding the mechanisms of the human papillomavirus oncoproteins High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are responsible for almost all cervical cancer cases and a growing number of oropharyngeal and anogenital cancers. The primary HPV oncoproteins, E6 and E7, act ...

A bit late to post but glad to see our review on novel oncogenic mechanisms of the HPV oncoproteins. Great work from undergraduate student Denise in my lab @biochemsoc.bsky.social @biochembiomeduos.bsky.social #HPV

Last month Dr @ethanlmorgan.bsky.social was invited to the EUROGIN Congress in Portugal to present his research targeting HPV driven head and neck cancers.

Look out for him at the @microbiologysociety.org annual meeting this week in Liverpool too! πŸ‘Š

Excited to report our latest research on new β€œmolecular glues” that specifically lock the BRCC36 isopeptidase complex (BRISC) in an autoinhibited state and reduce interferon signalling. This first-of-its-kind approach could reshape how we target large deubiquitylase (DUB) complexes.
