We are a world leader in familial melanoma research.  
Our website contains a wealth of information about our research consortium and includes interactive materials for melanoma patients, their families and the general public.
 
 
 
GenoMEL has produced an online tutorial entitled, ‘The Early Diagnosis of Melanoma’.

Promoting better outcomes for melanoma patients through earlier diagnosis and treatment is the purpose of this package. Primary healthcare workers and specialists in training are the intended audience, although experienced clinicians and patients may also find it useful. The tutorial contains text, photographs, videos, clinical cases and a self assessment section. To view the tutorial please click here.

We are also producing a small number of CDs containing the tutorial. If you would like a CD version, or have any comments, please email us at info@genomel.org
