25.01.2022 Melanoma Institute Australia is proud to announce that recently retired MIA Faculty member, Professor Rick Kefford AM, has been named on the annual Highly Cited Researchers 2020 list from Clarivate Web of Science. Professor Kefford is one of four MIA researchers named on the prestigious list, which is the who’s who of the scientific elite from across the globe. It identified researchers who demonstrated significant influence in their chosen field or fields through the publ...ication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade. ‘I had the pleasure of being an active member of Faculty at MIA for many years and this recognition reflects the great advances we have collectively made as a research team, which has resulted in many lives being saved,’ he said.

16.01.2022 The cheeky phrase 'Game On, Mole!' has become part of Aussie everyday language. We are using it for good, to encourage everyone to take action to prevent melanoma. When did you first hear the phrase?...comment and let us know! Game On Mole #gameonmole

16.01.2022 We are extremely proud to announce that Professor Richard Scolyer, MIA’s Co-Medical Director, has been named Outstanding Cancer Researcher of the Year in the Cancer Institute NSW Premier’s Awards 2020, NSW’s highest accolade for cancer research. Professor Scolyer was recognised for his pioneering melanoma research which has made a worldwide difference to the assessment, management and survival of people with melanoma. Chief Cancer Officer and CEO of the Cancer Institute NS...W, Professor David Currow, said the body of work amassed by Professor Scolyer throughout his career has made a real difference to how clinicians and researchers think about melanoma. Ten years ago, people diagnosed with advanced melanoma had their life expectancy measured in months. Now, Australian people with melanoma have a range of increasingly personalised treatment options. There are people alive today, in NSW and around the world, thanks to work done by Professor Scolyer and his amazing teams, he said. Professor Scolyer said We have an amazing team of people doing world leading melanoma research and it’s a huge honour to be leading that team and to be recognised in this way. Pathologists have a unique role to play in translational research and are key members of multidisciplinary teams which are conducting research at a high level. Pathologists are the bridge between the patient and what goes on in the research laboratory, bringing a unique perspective in order to facilitate research.

15.01.2022 We're very proud to announce MIA's Dr James Wilmott has been awarded the 'Wildfire Highly Cited Publication Award' in Cancer Institute NSW 2020 Premier's Awards for Outstanding Cancer Research. Dr Wilmott led a collaboration across Melanoma Institute Australia, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute and University of Sydney to produce the ‘Whole genome landscapes of major melanoma subtypes’ paper. First published in Nature in 2017, the research has been cited over 360 tim...es globally & led to over 509 new research papers. Dr Wilmott's research highlighted that melanoma is not one large cancer type, but rather there are subtypes with different molecular traits relating to where the melanoma began. Thank you to all the patients who made this research possible. #cancerNSWawards

14.01.2022 Research led by MIA's Dr James Wilmott is making a difference to #melanoma treatment around the globe, and the work continues. Find out more about the study: https://bit.ly/DrWilmottAward #cancerNSWawards

12.01.2022 Our 'Game On Mole' campaign leverages the humorous Aussie catch-cry 'game on, mole!' to start a serious conversation about sun safety and skin health. #gameonmole https://gameonmole.com.au

12.01.2022 This is such an important conversation for Australia to be having. Thanks so much Jen Benfield for so openly sharing your story, and thank you Michael Usher and 7NEWS Australia for getting right behind Game On Mole.

06.01.2022 Congratulations to MIA's Dr James Wilmott! Very proud of your breakthrough research 'Whole genome landscapes of major melanoma subtypes'. #cancerNSWawards

06.01.2022 There was sun safety all round at Redlands School when student Charlie organised a crazy hat day in support of Melanoma Institute Australia. Thanks to our friends @sunsense for providing the 50+ and thanks to Charlie and his peers for their creativity and generosity. The day raised some $2,500 to support MIA’s melanoma research, but just as importantly, it provided the young students with valuable hands on lessons about sun safety and melanoma prevention. #FundraiserFriday
