Course description

This course is designed to present students opportunities to explore an overview of current translational research in the field of skin cancer and expand student's breadth of professional practice knowledge. Students will be encouraged to consider the biomedical basis for current research programs, the methodology to validate these and clinical applications in skin cancer medicine. This course bridges the gap between the genetics and genomics of melanoma and skin cancer and how this can be integrated into the clinic. Key content areas include genetics and genomics of naevi and melanoma, germline susceptibility and its interaction with the environment, modes of inheritance (familial melanoma), genetic counselling, skin cancer tumorigenesis, tumour heterogeneity, current advanced clinical imaging and importance of serial imaging. Core research and real-world clinical principles are defined and elaborated.
