Funded Activity Summary

Melanomas are common cancers arising from the pigment cells of the skin. Sunlight is the principal environmental causal factor for this group of cancers, although there is increasing evidence that the effect of sunlight on the pigment cells is not the same for all people. We aim to answer the question. Does host phenotype predict the response of melanocytes to sunlight and in so doing, contribute information that may assist the development of effective prevention strategies
