The DF/HCC SPORE in Skin Cancer has just been funded for an additional five years. The Skin SPORE includes investigators from BIDMC, BWH, CHB, HSPH, DFCI, MGH, and the Broad Institute of MIT. The SPORE is composed of five translational research projects, each based on discoveries made during the first funding period. These projects are supported by three cores: Biospecimen Access and Analysis; Biostatistics and Bioinformatics; and Administration, Evaluation, and Planning. Successful Developmental Project and Career Development Award Programs continue as important elements of this SPORE. We are confident that the translational science in this proposal will have an important impact on human skin cancer over the next five years.
Skin SPORE Principal Investigator: Thomas Kupper, MD (BWH)
