From the lab to lived experience, research at Huntsman Cancer Instituteis deeply
personal.
When researcher Robert Judson-Torres, PhD, noticed a concerning change—thanks to his colleague and researcher Dekker Deacon, MD, PhD—he turned to fellow researcher Douglas Grossman, MD, PhD, and co-leader of the Melanoma Center at Huntsman Cancer Institute. The diagnosis: invasive melanoma.
Thankfully, it was caught early.
But the story doesn’t end there. Dr. Judson-Torres’ experience helped spark new questions and collaboration, spurring a global study into the origins of melanoma. This is what your support makes possible: real people, real discoveries, real progress.
As part of our Summer Fund Drive, we’re asking you to help keep this work moving forward. Every gift supports research that can save lives.
