Research summary

James W. Rocco studies head and neck cancers, with a focus on how HPV (human papillomavirus) infection and genetic changes drive tumor development, progression, and treatment response. His work combines genomics, cell biology, and clinical outcomes research to better understand cancer evolution and improve diagnosis and treatment strategies, including for related cancers like anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. Prospective students would likely engage with both laboratory-based molecular cancer biology and translational/clinical research involving patient data.
