Dr. Bosch has conducted epidemiological research on cancers linked to infectious agents notably on cancer of the liver, the [[cervix]], the genital tract and of the oral cavity and oropharynx. Dr Bosch was at the origin of the IARC program of epidemiological studies that demonstrated causality in the [[HPV]] and invasive [[cervical cancer]] relationship, established the role of the environmental co-factors for carcinogenesis among [[HPV]] positive women, and described the international variation of [[HPV]] types in [[cervical cancer]]. Some of these studies have played a catalytic role for the initiation of the first vaccine trials for HBV and [[HPV]] and for the evaluation of [[HPV]] tests as screening tools. Current interest reside in dissemination of scientific information of clinical relevance and in studies that integrate [[HPV]] vaccination and screening in environments with limited resources.<ref name=ipvsoc/>
