With HPV becoming more and more of an issue, I am looking for lower-level research ideas concerning HPV and Dermatology. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I would like to see someone develop a vaccine for the common strains so that I am not stuck spending my day treating the things.

I'm not sure if you're referring to HPV strains for genital or hand/foot warts? The Gardasil vaccine has already been developed for prevention of genital warts and cervical cancer in women.

I'm talking verruca vulgaris, plana, et al -- I don't see how anyone living in the civilized world could remain unaware of Gardasil due to the absolute inundation of ads...

MOHS--

I was also thinking along those lines, but I need to find something that will be beneficial and also something that I would be able to do with constrained time limits. There is a good chance that I am going to get access to a bunch of HPV data and I really don't have any good ideas yet as to what sort of analysis I should perform, if even possible.
