Research The Dyson Lab studies the retinoblastoma protein.

Working as a post-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Ed Harlow, Dyson demonstrated that the retinoblastoma protein can form complexes in vitro with the E7 oncoprotein of Human papilloma virus type-16. This result implicated pRB binding to E7 as a step in human papilloma virus-associated carcinogenesis.

As of 2015, Professor Dyson has 140 publications in leading peer-reviewed journals.
