Research Focus
Dr. Craig M Meyers' lab at Pennsylvania State University Hershey Medical Center studies the effects of HIV treatment on the progression of HPV-related oral cancers. They focus on understanding how highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) impacts cancer development and prognosis in patients with HIV and HPV co-infections. The lab uses innovative in vitro models to explore the mechanisms underlying these cancers and aims to identify potential therapeutic targets.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
