Call for Proposals: Melanoma Research Alliance - Hidary Foundation Team Science Award for Acral Melanoma Genomics
Melanoma Research Alliance - Hidary Foundation Team Science Award for Acral Melanoma Genomics Proposals due Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Acral melanoma, which occurs on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and under the nails, accounts for a small number of melanoma cases but has a survival rate of 10-20% lower than for cutaneous melanomas overall. Recognition that acral melanomas have a distinct genetic profile may account for the difference in survival. Yet, aside from the identification of cKIT alterations in 15-20% of acral melanomas, little is known about other molecular drivers of...
