Cancer is many diseases with different causes. DNA and RNA viruses have the capability to cause some types of cancer in the human body. Dr. White is conducting studies of the links between viruses and cancer with a goal of finding possible targeted therapies for treating virus caused cancers.
Six viruses are currently being evaluated for the development of new types of cancer fighting therapies: Epstein-Barr virus, human papilloma virus, hepatitis B virus, and human herpes virus-8 are DNA viruses that may cause the development of human cancers. Two RNA viruses may contribute to human cancers: human T lymphotrophic virus type 1 and hepatitis C viruses.
The RAW Lab is involved in the search for possible bacteriophage therapy for multi-drug resistant bacteria and produce universal antivirals for RNA viruses. The lab is using synthetic biology to overcome human viruses and other RNA viruses such as Influenza and Henipavirus.
