Campo's research group viewed the oncogenic effects of HPV can linger in females for a prolonged period of time, leading to eventual cancer of the body.

Campo's team made HPV infections a vital point of their research since over 4,000 deaths a year had been occurring from this type of cancer.

Due to the rarity of cases that arise from HPV infections giving serious health problems, Campo was one of the first women to experiment with these animals in lab conditions relating to disease.

[5] After inoculation testing on cattle, Campo was able to derive two different treatments in targeting HPV, rendering it unable to bind to cell receptors.

[2] In 1999, Campo left her job in cancer research and started to work as a full-time faculty member at the University of Glasgow in the field of Veterinary medicine.
