About the research group

The Infections and Cancer research group primarily focuses on studying cancers caused by infections and their associated pathogens.

The Unit of Information and Interventions (UNIC II) boasts extensive experience in preventing HPV infections and cervical cancer. It provides crucial information for decision-making bodies and facilitates public health interventions on both national and international scales. UNIC II is renowned for conducting top-tier research aimed at enhancing the prevention of cancers linked to HPV infection.

At the local level, UNIC II is deeply involved in organizing and executing Catalonia's new population-based HPV Screening Programme, as well as evaluating the quality and impact of the Catalan HPV Prevention Plan.

Additionally, it conducts modeling studies to economically evaluate various cancer prevention interventions.

On a global scale, UNIC II actively participates in the WHO's Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer.

This includes monitoring HPV infection rates, assessing HPV vaccination strategies, and implementing cervical cancer screening programs worldwide.

In essence, UNIC II's core areas of expertise encompass HPV epidemiology, HPV vaccines, cervical cancer screening, implementation and monitoring, mathematical modeling for HPV prevention, and healthcare professional training on HPV and cervical cancer.
