Michael Herfs' team (Laboratory of Experimental Pathology, GIGA-Cancer) demonstrates that, by hijacking host DNA damage/repair mechanisms, human papillomaviruses (HPV) actively contribute to the elevated radiosensitivity of virus-related cancers.

Michael Herfs' team (Laboratory for Experimental Pathology, GIGA-Cancer) demonstrates that, by drastically inhibiting innate immunity, human papillomaviruses (HPV) promote the development of bacterial vaginosis.

Michael Herfs' team (Lab for Experimental Pathology, GIGA-Cancer) demonstrates the importance of blocking the oxidized form of this protein to reactivate anti-tumor immunity and improve the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors.
