Work on the $152.4 million Paula Fox Melanoma & Cancer Centre has now reached its tallest point at level seven. This week, we were joined by major donor Paula Fox and her son Andrew, along with Mary-Anne Thomas MP and our Minderoo Foundation and Monash University partners to mark the achievement.

What a star 🤩 Dr Claire Felmingham passed her thesis and presented her work at World Congress all in same wk! Well done Claire!! Monash Public Health The Alfred Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials (MASC Trials) #WCD2023Singapore

Great to see the ACEMID Strategic Advisory Committee in Brisbane yesterday. We discussed the current melanoma research landscape in Australia and future directions of ACEMID ☀️H. Peter Soyer Pablo Fernandez-Peñas Dr Victoria Mar Monika Janda Heiko Spallek Geoff McColl

Can synthetic data produced by latent diffusion models improve medical AI? We studied this question using skin disease classifiers in our new preprint led by Luke Sagers James Diao Luke Melas-Kyriazi. Takeaways: • Synthetic images can enhance model performance in data-limited

Generosity breeds generosity in research - from Prof Alan Cooper & co-founders of Epiderm to recent announcement of St Baker Soyer Chair of Dermatology UQ Dermatology Research Centre. Congratulations H. Peter Soyer on huge achievement & ensuring bright future for academic derm🌞

Pleased to highlight our latest study into the genetics of Nodular Melanoma. Using exome seq of germline DNA from 325 melanoma patients, we identified genes with rare variant alleles in the Hedgehog pathway that may contribute to NM risk. academic.oup.com/bjd/article/do… UQ Medicine

Nodular #melanoma (NM) is a challenge to diagnose early due to its rapid growth. Therefore, we assessed the genetic risk of nodular melanoma using a candidate gene approach academic.oup.com/bjd/article/do… UQ News Translational Research Institute Monash Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences

Our new SiroSkin trial is now open; the 1st site is at The Alfred in Melbourne. This innovative trial investigates if a topical cream can reduce the number of facial skin cancers in solid organ transplant recipients. More Australian sites to open soon. masc.org.au/siroskin/

Congratulations @ProfRScolyerMIA & Professor Georgina Long AO (Bluesky @gvlongphdmd) - what a roller coaster of a year!! Such great news #AusOfTheYear 🙌🏼

Morgan Mansell was an extraordinarily brave young woman who died from melanoma aged just 25. She was a passionate advocate & today on her birthday we are encouraging people to check their skin & know what to look out for - alfred.org.au/checkforspots #earlydetection #melanoma

We want to make sure the right person gets the right skin check at the right time. Thanks to Australian Cancer Research Foundation & NHMRC our team ACRF Melanoma Imaging & Diagnosis Centre will standardize melanoma diagnosis and target screening to those who will benefit most.

Thanks to Parl Friends co-chairs Jason Clare MP & Darren Chester MP for hosting ACRF Melanoma Imaging & Diagnosis Centre & our passionate consumer advocates today to address need for a targeted evidence based approach to #skinchecks DermatologyACD Monash Public Health UQ Dermatology Research Centre University of Sydney The Alfred

Love those wings Nairn - good luck!!

Chris was diagnosed with melanoma at just 19. When I met Chris and his family, he told me early detection and treatment was the key to fighting it. The new Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre is all about helping more Australians detect cancer early.

Billionaire philanthropists Paula and Lindsay Fox, along with the Prime Minister, have opened a new world-class melanoma centre in Melbourne. The family matriarch's vision and donation promises to revolutionise skin cancer treatment. Emily Rice #9News

Such an exciting week for melanoma research & clinical care - this building will provide inspiration to patients, scientists and clinicians alike. The future of cancer care is bright!

Very exciting Aideen 🙌🏼

Congratulations to a fabulous collaborator and mentor - so well deserved!
