This project aims to understand the mechanisms of latency in Kaposi’s sarcoma herpesvirus, which is linked to cancer development. By utilizing an innovative in vitro system, it seeks to identify host proteins involved in viral genome maintenance, paving the way for targeted therapies.
Oncogenic viruses are the third most common cause of cancer in humans.
Kaposi’s sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) is an oncogenic virus that establishes life-long latent infection and can drive tumor development in immunocompromised individuals.
To date no definitive treatment against KSHV has been developed and KSHV-derived cancers are uncurable.
Despite the advances in understanding KSHV biology, many key aspects are still obscure, and detailed mechanistic studies are needed for the development of ra…
