Dr. Koenraad M Van Doorslaer is an Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona's School of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences since 2016. He holds a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from Albert Einstein College of Medicine and completed postdoctoral work at NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.
- PhD: Evolution of papillomavirus carcinogenicity (Albert Einstein College of Medicine)
- MS: Biomedical Sciences (Albert Einstein College of Medicine)
- BS: Biomedical Sciences (University of Leuven, Belgium)
His research focuses on the evolutionary mechanisms behind papillomavirus oncogenicity, combining molecular virology with computational analysis. Key projects examine:
- Differential pathogenicity in papillomavirus genera
- Immune evasion through nucleotide composition changes
- HPV genome integration patterns in cancers
- Host restriction factors like TLR9
- Evolutionary constraints on viral core genes
- Development of bioinformatic tools (PaVE 2.0)
Recent publications analyze:
- HPV integration signatures in cervical/vulvar cancers
- TLR9-virus coevolution in bats
- Evolutionary taxonomy updates for Papillomaviridae
- 3D tissue models for virus-host interaction studies
- Non-mammalian papillomavirus diversity (fish, plants)
- Role of PRMT1 in HPV lifecycle regulation
Scientific recognition includes:
- 2022 Excellence in Postdoctoral Mentoring Award
- 2021-2020 award nominations
- 2017 DNA Tumor Virus Meeting oral presentation award
Teaching contributions span multiple courses in:
- Medical Molecular Virology
- Principles of Molecular Mechanisms
- Research conferences and dissertation supervision
- 3D tissue culture methodology
