Faculty & Staff
Angelo DeLucia, Ph.D.
Professor Emeritus of Molecular Virology and Cancer Biology
My research studies are concerned with the understanding of how certain human papillomaviruses (HPVs) induce uterine cervical cancer, a major cause of women mortality worldwide. There are now known to be a number of other cancers associated with these viruses, such as head and neck tumors and various skin cancers.
- Human papillomaviruses and cervical cancer.
- Activation of p53 therapeutic pathways within pre-cancerous and cancer cells.
- Adenoviruses as gene expression vectors
- iPS stem cells and organ regeneration
- Latent adenoviruses and human papillomaviruses in tonsil tissue
- Human papillomavirus oncogene effects on cervical cancer cell metabolism
- Flaxseed lignans development as natural product intervention and chemoprotection against uterine cervical and head and neck cancers caused by human papilloma
