Yale Cancer Center scientists have filled in a key gap in understanding the unusual route by which the Human papillomavirus (HPV) infects cells. Their findings, published online today in the journal Cell, may eventually help to broaden the scope of defenses against HPV and provide valuable clues for delivering drugs into cells.

Four Yale faculty members have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), an honor bestowed upon AAAS members by their peers.

The 416 members have been awarded this honor by the AAAS in recognition of their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications.

On July 9, at 3:00 pm, professor Christopher Burd (Department of Cell Biology, Yale School of Medicine, YSM, New Haven, CT, Connecticut, USA) will give the lecture “Protein and Lipid Sorting in the Secretory Pathway”, under the partnership between Técnico and the US embassy in Portugal.
