Research with us
Oncovirology: how viruses contribute to cancer development. Three research lines and two cross-cutting lines that support them.
Immunology
- Oral inflammation
- Markers in saliva
- Markers in gingival crevicular fluid
- Other oral samples
- Dental specialty theses
Biomedical devices
- Conceptualization
- Project development
Cross-cutting lines
They support all the lines above.
Bioinformatics
- Viral integration in the genome
- Gene expression
- Molecular variants
Biomarkers
- Viral detection in tissue
- Associated with viruses and tobacco
- Cell models

From cells to molecular biomarkers
01 / Epstein–Barr virus · BARF1
Cell morphology and BARF1
SiHa cervical cancer cells transfected with control vector (V) or BARF1. The study describes spindle-shaped morphology in BARF1-expressing cells in the context of epithelial–mesenchymal transition.

Viral detection in tissue
EBNA1 immunohistochemistry in lung carcinomas from Chile, with positive and negative controls. The brown signal identifies EBNA1; panels retain the original scale bars.
