HCAT just won a Utah Grand Challenge grant. This mechanism provides funding for cancer researchers to address pressing cancer issues facing the state of Utah (and beyond). Utah leads the nation in Melanoma incidence (in a bad way). Given that, our project will develop and test and innovative approaches to melanoma detection in coordination with researchers at Intermountain Healthcare.

Helen Lillie, Kevin John, Yelena Wu, Doug Grossman, and Tawnya Bowles all helped to write the grant, and will all be key to the success of the project to come.
