  1. The role of XMRV, a newly discovered human retrovirus, in cancer pathogenesis
    Ila R Singh; Fiscal Year: 2010
    ..We will explore mechanisms of oncogenesis in cells, in tumors, as well as in animal models, and carry out epidemiological studies to estimate prevalence of viral infection in the general population. ..
