Overseas research:
The HPV Research Group was formed in 1996, when three investigators, Drs. Nancy Kiviat, Laura Koutsky, and Cathy Critchlow, who had collaborated together on numerous projects at the University of Washington for a number of years, sought office space together. Dr. Kiviat, Chief of Pathology at Harborview Medical Center and head of a clinical and research laboratory, and Drs. Koutsky and Critchlow, Epidemiologists in the University of Washington School of Public Health, had long been studying human papillomavirus (HPV), anogenital neoplasia, and cancer in numerous study populations, including University students, men who have sex with men in Seattle, as well as women in Senegal, West Africa. Recently, the HPV Research Group has been involved in studies regarding the natural history of incident HPV infection in young women, the effect of HIV infection on development anal neoplasia in men and cervical neoplasia and cancer in women, development of biomarkers for early detection of cervical cancer in women, the association of HPV with skin cancer, and the first evaluations of HPV vaccines. During the last few years, the HPV Research Group has participated in multi-center trials and has collaborated in multidisciplinary research efforts with investigators at institutions as varied as the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, the University of Dakar in Senegal, West Africa, the University of Texas, Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum in Heidelberg, Germany, the Oxford University in the United Kingdom, Corixa Corporation, Merck Pharmaceuticals, and Roche Molecular Diagnostics, as well as numerous departments within the University of Washington.
