Overview

Our laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection.

Magnetic resonance image of a tumor (lymphoma of the central nervous system, small arrows) surrounded by edema (larger arrows). Most central nervous system lymphomas are associated with EBV infection. These malignancies have very poor prognosis. The survival of immunocompromised patients with central nervous system lymphoma is generally three months or less.
