Dr. Wright has studied the pathogenesis of cervical cancer and novel approaches to cervical cancer prevention. His current research ranges from evaluating non-cytological cervical cancer screening tests to studying the safety and efficacy of ""screen and treat"" approaches to cervical cancer prevention. He has directed large cohort studies investigating the development of cervical cancer in HIV-infected women and the role of specific high-risk types of HPV in the development of cervical cancer precursors. Dr. Wright chaired the 2006 Consensus Conference that developed guidelines for the management of women with cytological abnormalities and helped develop the 2001 Bethesda System. He serves on the board of the American Society of Colposcopy and Cervical pathology (ASCCP) and acts as the Secretariat of the Cervical cancer Education and Prevention Initiative."
