QIMR scientists have found high levels of a specific protein in human melanoma cells make skin cancer harder to treat with immunotherapy, the discovery could lead to better-tailored treatments.

MBL and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) will shortly launch the German Human Genome-Phenome Archive, a data archive and analytics platform that will interact with the European Genome-Phenome Archive.

A tumour DNA testing clinical trial will begin at PeterMac, enabling improved personalised treatment.
