Joanna Parish BSc, PhD

Jo qualified with a B.Sc. (Hons) in Biochemistry from the University of Bristol in 1998. She obtained her Ph.D from the University of Bristol in 2002 studying virus-host interactions of human papillomavirus (HPV). She was then appointed as a Research Fellow at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, USA. In 2007, Jo was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship and moved to the University of St Andrews. In 2012, she was appointed Senior Lecturer in Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences in the University of Birmingham. Her research is focused on HPV-host interactions and the molecular mechanism of HPV persistence.
