Artificial intelligence can help diagnose skin cancer, but only on white skin
A new image-based AI tool can suggest clinical next steps for melanoma, but for darker skinned patients, equal outcomes are lacking
I am a PhD candidate at Johns Hopkins University studying the intersection of aging, cancer, and the tumor microenvironment. Specifically, I study how intrinsic aging of the skin impacts the progression of melanoma, especially in older patients who suffer from more aggressive disease. The eventual goal of my research is to identify new therapy options to slow or prevent melanoma metastasis in this population.
