Aaron Ermel studies human papillomavirus (HPV) and its link to cervical cancer, particularly among women living with HIV in East African settings such as Kenya and Uganda. The work spans developing and evaluating diagnostic tests for HPV and sexually transmitted infections, examining environmental risk factors like aflatoxin exposure, and assessing the population-level impact of HPV vaccination. Additional research covers other reproductive tract and viral infections.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
