Clinical Research Summary
My research interests involve the epidemiology of melanoma and dysplastic nevi as well as analysis of the microscopic misdiagnosis of melanoma. My current projects include developing clinically useful models for predicting the occurrence of second primary melanomas; identification of characteristics associated with microscopic misdiagnosis of melanoma; and an assessment of the attitudes and beliefs of dermatologists and dermatopathologists regarding the relationship between dysplastic nevi and melanoma.
