The ICGEB Tumour Virology lab sends a clear message to contribute to raise Cervical Cancer Awareness.
To raise cervical cancer awareness, the Tumour Virology Group, headed by Dr. Lawrence Banks, conducts outreach activities across the globe. Today, over 5% of all cancers are caused by Human Papillomaviruses, even though a good vaccine is available.
ICGEB strengthens research capability through comprehensive training programmes and by promoting biotechnology internationally. “We run annual scientific meetings on the topic around the globe, regularly host international seminars for the student body.” Comments Dr. Banks, and adds: “Most importantly, public engagement and raising awareness is integral to the mission of the ICGEB. We do our utmost to raise cercival cancer awareness through our activities.”
