SUMMARY:Mini Medical School - Good Bacteria - Bad Bacteria - Health Science
 s Education Building C104 - 7 Nov 18 17:30
DESCRIPTION:The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix proud
 ly presents Mini-Medical School\, a fascinating community lecture series o
 pen to the public.\n\nThe fall series continues the Celebrating Women in M
 edicine and Science theme\, an initiative founded by the American Medical 
 Association. The College highlights women scientists\, physicians and facu
 lty who mentor\, advocate\, network and offer training and development for
  students and researchers.\n\nBreakthrough Research\nVirtually all cervica
 l cancers are caused by HPV\, or human papillomavirus\, dubbed the “comm
 on cold” of sexually transmitted infections because nearly every sexuall
 y active person catches it. Fortunately\, the immune system vanquishes the
  majority of HPV infections\, with only a small percentage progressing to 
 precancer and\, ultimately\, cancer.\n\nBut why do some people clear the i
 nfection while others are unable to fight it?\n\nMini-Medical School atten
 dees will learn how Dr. Herbst-Kralovetz leads a team that found as the va
 ginal environment loses acidity\, cervical abnormalities become more sever
 e. The team is the first to show a relationship between elevated pH and ad
 vanced cervical abnormalities.\n\nDr. Herbst-Kralovetz will share her rese
 arch outcomes which explain women without cervical abnormalities are hosts
  to different communities of vaginal bacteria than women with cervical can
 cer and precancer\, a discrepancy that reveals a relationship between “g
 ood” bacteria and cervical health\, and “bad” bacteria and increased
  cancer risk.\n\nPresenter:\nMelissa M. Herbst-Kralovetz\, PhD \nAssociate
  Professor\, Department of Basic Medical Sciences/Oncology at the Universi
 ty of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix\n\nWednesday\, November 7\,
