research overview

Dr. Derkay has been involved in HPV-related recurrent respiratory papillomatosis research throughout his academic career. He currently is the PI on two CDC-funded national studies looking at the effects of the HPV vaccine on lowering the incidence of RRP in the US. He collaborates with CDC scientists and colleagues at 25 other Children's hospitals in the US on this project. He also is funded by industry to look at the risk for practitioners for contracting this disorder and the potential for vaccinating this older cohort.

Dr. Derkay has also been extensively involved in looking at reducing morbidity and mortality from adenotonsillar surgery in children by using less invasive surgical techniques and adjuvant medications.
