My work on human pigmentation genetics has provided a framework to understand normal variation in this physical trait and the associated genotypic risk factors for skin cancer development. The genes that determine an individual's skin phototype and the ce
I am a cancer biologist investigating mechanisms that regulate the aberrant cell proliferation in cancers, particularly melanomas. I am attempting to utilise defects in normal proliferative mechanisms as targets for novel anti-cancer therapies.

The University of Queensland Dermatology Research Centre are committed to conducting and promoting high quality clinical research into skin disease, particularly skin cancer, aimed at improved patient outcomes. Telemedicine and cutting edge imaging technologies are employed with a view towards their implementation into clinical practise to potentially overcome geographical inadequacies of health care in Qld. We expect the research will impact on Australian policies and guidelines in the field of ....The University of Queensland Dermatology Research Centre are committed to conducting and promoting high quality clinical research into skin disease, particularly skin cancer, aimed at improved patient outcomes.
