Molecular mechanisms of melanoma
Our research focused on malignant melanoma, which is becoming a major public health problem in many countries. It is crucial to diagnose melanoma in the early stages and prevent it from metastasis, so our aim is to find out effective diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets in further treatment for malignant melanoma. On the other hand, we will try to unravel molecular mechanisms of melanoma initiation and progression.
