Funded Activity Summary

Melanoma is an increasing problem in Australia. Strong evidence supports the finding that the number of moles on skin is a good indicator of future melanoma risk and a short term marker of adverse reactions to melanoma-inducing sun exposure in humans. While recommendations for sun protection have been proposed for many years, it is currently unknown what component of sunlight induces melanoma or whether sunscreens protect against the formation of melanoma. Using an animal model for human moles of the skin we aim in contributing to the answers of these two questions .
