research results into new clinical applications and public
health policies.
The Society serves as
the organizational structure for the field of biomedical
scientists and physicians engaged in all manner of
papillomavirus research and promotes translational research
involving basic and clinical scientists as well as
epidemiologists and public health workers at academic,

Society provides the primary oversight for the Annual
Conferences and coordination of fund raising and maintenance
of the membership and general announcement lists for these
