The Society for Melanoma Research (SMR) hosts an annual International Congress where researchers from around the world share their cutting edge work in melanoma. For the first time this year, the Congress has designated a special session focused specifically on rare melanomas. Dr. Kasey Couts is one of five speakers invited to share her research during this inaugural session. She will present the results of a collaboration with Foundation Medicine, Inc., a clinical testing company, which analyzed the genomics of rare melanomas and identified new targeted therapies that are effective in rare melanoma pre-clinical models and patients.
