The mission of the Transplantation/Oncology Infectious Diseases Program is to develop new strategies
for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of life-threatening infections in immunocompromised
patients. We accomplish this mission through translational laboratory and clinical research focusing on
(1) antimicrobial pharmacology; (2) augmentation of innate host defenses; (3) molecular detection of
emerging pathogens. The advances achieved through laboratory investigations are translated through
carefully designed clinical protocols in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, solid organ
transplant recipients, and patients with hematological malignancies.

Research interests are in the epidemiology and treatment of human papillomavirus (HPV) related anal
dysplasia in HIV-infected men and women. Ongoing and planned projects include determining the
predictors of persistent anal infection with HPV, describing outcomes for patients treated for high-grade
anal intraepithelial neoplasia (HGAIN) and topical therapies for HGAIN.
