His current research addresses the mechanisms of lesion formation and regression, and the way that human papillomaviruses modulate epithelial homeostasis to facilitate virus persistence. His research group is focusing on the biology of the cervical transformation zone, and the molecular and cellular processes that make this particular epithelial site vulnerable to HPV infection and neoplastic progression.

How do I know if I have a good connection to follow the event?

The live webcast stream uses technology that will adjust the quality of the video stream based on your current internet speed. However, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 2 MB/s or 3G/4G in the case of portable devices. You can test your connection speed by clicking here (please note that you need to check the “download speed”). We would also recommend checking if other devices are using your internet connection at the same time. More devices will consume the bandwidth of the connection, therefore we suggest disconnecting devices that are not needed when accessing the live webcast.
