Funded Activity Summary

Melanoma is the 4th most common cancer diagnosed in Australia. Advanced melanoma frequently spreads to other organs and can acquire resistance to anti-melanoma treatments, making it fundamentally incurable. I am focused on investigating the mechanisms underlying melanoma disease progression. I will achieve this by comparing the biological nature of melanoma cells at different stages of disease and therapy-resistance to identify new targets for the more effective treatment of patients with melanoma.
