About this scholarship
This project will advance the treatment landscape for metastatic melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer. Although new therapies work for some patients, there are many that do not respond or become resistant to treatment. In this project you will explore protein ubiquitination (a mechanism that regulates protein activity within the cell) and identify potential new therapeutic targets.
The scholarship is funded by the Lions Cancer Institute (founded in 1989), who have a long-standing commitment to skin cancer screening and research in Western Australia. With this scholarship, the Lions Cancer Institute will support an HDR student to undertake melanoma research.
