Our research exploits Merkel cell polyomavirus to identify novel cellular pathways leading to cancer.
Check out our latest publication in the link below.
We’re thrilled to kick off 2026 by sharing a new PNAS publication led by Masa Shuda! The team demonstrated a novel approach that turns off cancer cells instead of just killing them.

🎉 Here’s to a year of continued discovery and impact!
I am excited to introduce our recent publication by Rapchak and Shiva, showing that small T oncoprotein from Merkel cell polyomavirus controls virus genome maintenance. The small 19kDa-viral protein drives not only carcinogenesis but also persistence.

N-Myc downstream regulated gene (NDRG) 1 that is uniquely induced by MCPyV T oncogene acts as a tutor suppressor in MCPyV-induced cancers. A discovery in collaboration with Tommasino lab at the IARC.
