Brief description The fellowship application by A/Prof Sturm is to support his research into the biology of human skin, hair and eye colour, and the process of melanoma formation. His pivotal discoveries into the genetic basis of pigmentation and its regulation has provided an understanding of these physical traits and the associated genotypic risk factors for skin cancer development. The genes that determine an individual's skin phototype and the mechanisms involved in the tanning response after UV-exposure of the skin are actively being investigated.
