The project description can be found at the link: https://www.ncn.gov.pl/index.php/aktualnosci/2026-03-16-znamy-laureatow-w-konkursie-weave-unisono
The aim of the project is to understand the mechanisms by which HPV proteins, in particular E6 and L2, disrupt the transport and sorting of cellular proteins through interaction with nexins SNX27 and SNX17, and to determine the importance of these disorders for neoplastic transformation and the development of HPV-associated cancers.
