Kristina Dahlstrom Lab

The Dahlstrom Lab conducts research focused on HPV-related throat cancers, with the goal of improving methods for early detection and screening. Our studies investigate biomarkers associated with HPV-related cancers through the analysis of blood and saliva samples. This work includes liquid biopsy research and other approaches aimed at developing effective, minimally invasive methods for HPV-related cancer screening and detection.
