Research Interests
Dr. Giuliano's research focus is on Human Papillomavirus (HPV) related carcinogenesis. Currently, her research has three funded components. One is the study of the natural history of HPV infections in men. This NCI funded prospective cohort study is actively recruiting men internationally and examining the molecular virological and immunological response to HPV infection over a four year follow-up period in 3,000 men. The second NCI funded study is examining whether a summary measure of oxidant load (anti-HmdU auto-antibodies) is associated with the natural history of HPV infections. If associated, this compound may serve as a novel biomarker to use in addition to HPV testing to predict women at the greatest risk of lesion development and subsequent need for costly repeat screening and diagnostic follow-up procedures. The third study supported by Merck & Co., a Phase IIII randomized controlled clinical trial, is assessing the efficacy of the quadravalent HPV (types 6, 11, 16, 18) vaccine trial among men.
