Happy 102nd birthday to Sir Anthony Epstein. The virus he discovered with Yvonne Barr and Bert Achong in 1964 continues to surprise us! Most recently implicated in multiple sclerosis and long covid, EBV also plays a role in certain cancers. Important therapeutic target.

Sad news of Harald zur Hausen death. His work revolutionised our understanding of how viruses contribute to human cancer. His original studies on EBV provided the foundation for his discovery that certain types of HPV cause cervical cancer. nobelprize.org/prizes/medicin…

Also important to note that mRNA vaccines are being developed to treat cancer with very encouraging early clinical results.

Hopefully the updated XBB.1.5 mRNA vaccine which will also offer good protection against the Eris (EG.5.1) variant.
