Abstract
Our research focuses on melanocytic neoplasms, a diverse range of skin tumors, with distinct etiologies that impact patient morbidity and mortality. We pioneer approaches using Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) on fresh human biopsies to explore melanocyte cell biology. Our methods have uncovered new roles for oncogenic mutations and revealed therapeutic approaches for understudied malignant melanoma subtypes. The insights from QPI exhibit high consistency in pre-clinical systems. Our presentation will highlight QPI's instrumental role in our discoveries and its contribution to two upcoming studies.
