This research, led by UQ's Professor H. Peter Soyer, is unique in it's focus on moles (or naevi) and recently received 5 years of funding from the NHMRC for a Centre of Research Excellence for the Study of Naevi.

The aim is to improve the understanding of naevus development and transformation, along with recognition of the associated changes, to better prevent, predict and detect skin cancer and melanoma.
