For over 40 years, researchers associated with Melanoma Institute Australia have been at the cutting-edge when it comes to prevention , early diagnosis, and improved treatments for melanoma.

Clinical research started at the Melanoma Institute Australia in the late 1960s, and today the Institute is recognised as one of the most active clinical trials centres in Australasia.

The Institute’s Melanoma Research Database is currently the world's largest of its kind and underpins our research program. To date there are more than 32,000 patient records.

The biospecimen bank stores blood and tissue samples from people diagnosed with melanoma and other types of skin cancer. These samples help to better understand the nature of melanoma.

Each year, our researchers contribute papers to scientific and medical journals both in Australia and overseas.
