Professor Joanna B Wilson is a leading academic at the University of Glasgow, affiliated with the School of Molecular Biosciences and the Department of Molecular Genetics. Her research focuses on molecular pathways in cancer development, particularly those linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) oncogenesis, with a strong emphasis on translating these findings into novel therapeutic strategies.
Wilson's work has extensively analyzed EBV proteins like LMP1 and EBNA1, exploring their roles in chronic inflammation, immune evasion, and carcinogenesis. Her lab has developed transgenic mouse models to study EBV-driven lymphomas and epithelial cancers, revealing critical interactions with host pathways such as IL-2 signaling, PI3Kδ, and Mdm2-p53.
Recent publications highlight advancements in EBV-targeted therapies, including anti-inflammatory agents (e.g., NAC) and prime-boost vaccination approaches. These studies span oncology, virology, and molecular signaling, reflecting her interdisciplinary expertise.
Wilson has contributed to key methods in transgenic modeling and EBV research through co-authored book sections and protocols. Her lab's work remains foundational in understanding how EBV manipulates cellular mechanisms to promote cancer.
