Roger Lo, professor of medicine, dermatology, and molecular and medical pharmacology and investigator at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, was awarded a $2 million grant from NIH to investigate innovative strategies to prevent drug resistance in melanoma treatment and improve the effectiveness of MAPK inhibitors, a common treatment for patients with melanomas that carry the BRAFV600 mutation.
NIH has introduced Linked Discoveries, an experimental tool designed to help scientists more easily see how an individual research finding relates to the larger body of biomedical evidence.
