1. Disputing the importance of oncogenes in cancers (1983).
2. His claim that recreational and pharmaceutical drug use, and not HIV, are the primary causes of AIDS (the Duesberg hypothesis) (1987/8).
3. His proposed aneuploidy hypothesis of cancer (1997).

In recent years a small number of scientists have begun to support the idea that aneuploidy may indeed have a role in the formation of some cancers. Research on this subject is ongoing.

He isolated the first carcinogenic gene from a virus at the age of 33, at 36 earned tenure at the University of California, Berkeley, and at 49 was invited to the National Academy of Sciences. His controversial hypotheses have caused a withdrawal of financial support. He has been forced to fund his research from charitable contributions and to move to Germany.
