Our laboratory currently has two branches, one at the Universidade Federal do RIo de Janeiro and the other at the Instituto Nacional de Cancer (INCA), both located in Brazil. In the former, we are mostly interested in HIV and other retroviruses that infect human and non-human primates. At INCA,we study human oncoviruses, such as HPV and the hepatitis viruses. At both locations, a special focus on viral and host genetic determinants that govern susceptibility to viral infection is drawn.
