Overview

Mario Poljak is affiliated with the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia and has contributed extensively to the field of medicine, with a primary focus on epidemiology, infectious diseases, molecular biology, surgery, and oncology. Their research encompasses a range of topics including cervical cancer and HPV research, genital health and disease, molecular biology techniques and applications, hepatitis B virus studies, SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 research, global cancer incidence and screening, and herpesvirus infections and treatments.

Their recent publications include:

  • "Cervical cancer screening programmes and age-specific coverage estimates for 202 countries and territories worldwide: a review and synthetic analysis" (2022, The Lancet Global Health)
  • "2020 list of human papillomavirus assays suitable for primary cervical cancer screening" (2021, Clinical Microbiology and Infection)
  • "Clinical Evaluation of the cobas SARS-CoV-2 Test and a Diagnostic Platform Switch during 48 Hours in the Midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic" (2020, Journal of Clinical Microbiology)
  • "Commercially available molecular tests for human papillomaviruses: a global overview" (2020, Clinical Microbiology and Infection)
  • "Cervical screening: ESGO-EFC position paper of the European Society of Gynaecologic Oncology (ESGO) and the European Federation of Colposcopy (EFC)" (2020, British Journal of Cancer)

Frequent co-authors of Mario Poljak include:

  • Anja Oštrbenk Valenčak (20 co-authored works)
  • Tomaž Mark Zorec (20 co-authored works)
  • Marc Arbyn (19 co-authored works)
  • Miša Korva (17 co-authored works)
  • Lea Hošnjak (17 co-authored works)

Preferred publication venues consist mainly of:

  • Journal of Clinical Virology (10 publications)
  • Viruses (9 publications)
