The project aims to provide insights...
This federal Project Grant award of $547,875 from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Biology Research program (CFDA 93.396) supports research at Stetson University to investigate a novel mechanism of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) small tumor antigen nuclear import responsible for the development of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a rare and aggressive form of skin cancer. The project aims to exploit the differences between MCPyV, which is uniquely tumorigenic among human polyomaviruses, and two non-oncogenic skin-tropic polyomaviruses to identify the unique mechanisms driving MCPyV-induced oncogenesis. The award has an initial project period from September 2025 to August 2028.
