A new study, led by researchers in the lab of Blossom Damania, PhD, has identified a new therapeutic target for difficult-to-treat cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
“Our research indicates that targeting a single enzyme may offer a more effective approach for the treatment of EBV-positive NHL," said Maria White, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in the Damania lab and lead author on the paper.

Blossom Damania, a virologist at UNC, spoke to CNN about the Epstein-Barr virus and its connection with disease.
“We could save a lot of lives if we develop the vaccine now,” Damania said, “rather than wait 10 years” until every question is answered.
