Professor Scott Menzies is a CI on the CRE for the Study of Naevi.

Professor Menzies is a Professor in the Discipline of Dermatology at The University of Sydney.

He is known as a world leader in the development of technologies for the diagnosis of primary melanoma of the skin (dermoscopy, sequential digital dermoscopy imaging, in-vivo confocal microscopy, and automated diagnostic techniques) - work that has directly resulted in category A recommendations for the diagnosis of melanoma in NHMRC-ratified national guidelines, and successfully bringing diagnostic techniques to market. Together with A/Prof Kasparian he brings expertise gained from a prospective trial of a high-risk melanoma cohort that assessed the relative efficacy of melanoma diagnostic methods, cost analysis and development of a psycho-educational intervention. He is currently on the scientific advisory boards of, and can link the CRE with, two international companies who have, or are developing, automated diagnostic devices for primary melanoma (DermTech Internat., USA; SciBase AB, Sweden).
