OCF is funding (with the NCI) Gillison's next look at HPV beginning in January. She will by then have moved to Ohio, and no longer be part of Hopkins. Someone offered her some significant research money to come and do her work at their place instead. To give you an idea of how brilliant she is (IMHO) after joining OCF's board in 2001 she has constantly had epiphanies about the disease, and as a good researcher, followed the bread-crumbs to each subsequent elucidation/revelation about it. Most of her work is in PDF form on our HPV page. Her sequence of peer reviewed and published papers in the best journals has been; HPV is a distinct cause of OC, then what anatomical sites it goes for, then what is the demographic of the people getting it, then the mechanism of transfer 1, then the mechanism of transfer 2. 09 will see more papers from her, and we will begin to understand this better. In the meantime we have no tools to fight it. We are still trying to understand the life cycle of the virus, so we can interrupt it perhaps at some stage. We already know that we can prevent a persistent infection from it (necessary to cause malignancy), as long as you have never been exposed to it. But that does not help sexually active adults.
