The Joint Advisory Group and the Scientific Advisory Board

GenoMEL also has members drawn from outside its research groups. These members come from a wide range of backgrounds and help GenoMEL to stay relevant, ethical and focussed. The Joint Advisory Group (JAG) is composed of melanoma patients, members of the public, healthcare workers, ethicists and patient advocates. The JAG reviews research proposals and patient documentation and greatly assists GenoMEL in its communications with the wider world. The Scientific Advisory Group (SAB) is composed of eminent international researchers who can give an independent opinion of GenoMEL’s research plans and overall direction. The SAB plays a key role in reviewing GenoMEL’s annual plan.
