HPV vaccine research focuses on developing vaccines that can protect against the human papillomavirus (HPV), a group of viruses that are the most common sexually transmitted infections in the world. HPV can cause genital warts and various types of cancers, including cervical, anal, and throat cancers. The vaccines currently available target the most common cancer-causing strains of HPV and have been shown to be highly effective in preventing infection and related diseases. Ongoing research in this area aims to improve vaccine efficacy, increase coverage and access to vaccination, and explore the potential for expanding HPV vaccination to other age groups and populations.
