Research Focus
Dr. Jeffrey Michael Bethony's lab at George Washington University focuses on improving understanding and treatment of anal cancer, particularly as it relates to individuals living with HIV. His team manages the AIDS and Cancer Specimen Resource, which collects and distributes a large number of biospecimens for research. The goal is to enhance screening, prevention, and treatment protocols through careful analysis of specimen data, ultimately benefiting public health initiatives related to HPV-associated cancers.
