Clinical and molecular analyses of nodular melanoma [ 2011 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Victoria Mar (Principal investigator)

Brief description There have been very recent advances in our understanding of the biology of melanoma that are now poised to have major impacts in the outcome of patients with this disease. The nodular subtype of melanoma contributes disproportionately to mortality from melanoma. By using the latest molecular techniques to study these melanomas I will identify causative factors, diagnostic features and molecular profiles associated with these poor-prognosis melanomas leading to new approaches in the prevention, early detection and treatment of these melanomas.
