Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Kiarash Khosrotehrani (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr James Guy Lyons ,  A/Pr Nicholas Saunders

Brief description Skin cancer is the most frequent form of cancer in Australia and in many parts of the world. It is strongly connected to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. In this project, we will use our capacity to track individual cells, to observe the heterogeneity of tumours and the lesions that precede them. We will show the importance of this heterogeneity in tumour progression unveiling the limits of current therapies against skin cancer.
