Primary melanoma project

Principal Advisor: Dr Lena Von Schuckmann

Organisational unit: Frazer Institute

The Primary Melanoma Project was established to investigate the natural history of high-risk primary melanomas and to identify risk factors for disease progression. The cohort consists of 700 patients and 10-year follow-up data will be collected in 2024. The following research projects are available and would suit Brisbane-based candidates with a background in medicine, public health, and/or those with an interest in dermatology:

1. Evaluating the impact of dietary factors on melanoma recurrence

2. Evaluating the impact of clinical factors (tumour transection during biopsy, excision margins etc) on melanoma recurrence.
