We conduct both basic and translational studies of the tumor virus Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV-based prevention (screening and vaccination), including an international reference laboratory function where we sequence, document, and store all new Papillomaviruses as well as design and evaluate prevention in Sweden with a national quality register for cervical cancer prevention.
We initiated and coordinate the Swedish national cervical cancer elimination campaign that is based on i) achieving faster population immunity against HPV using extended HPV vaccinations and ii) support achieving high population coverage of cervical screening using self-sampling for HPV.
