As a journalist, I’ve decided to rewrite the article to make it unique and more engaging. Here’s my version:
The Epstein-Barr virus, the most common viral infection in humans, was discovered 60 years ago on March 28th. It was initially found in connection with a rare cancer in Africa but is now known to play a role in various cancers and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis. Lawrence Young, professor of molecular oncology at Warwick Medical School, has spent years studying this virus and its potential implications for disease prevention and treatment. In an interview, he recounts the history of the virus and explains how understanding it could lead to better prevention and treatment options for cancer and other illnesses.
