Melanoma Research Alliance

MRA is the world’s largest private nonprofit funder of melanoma research, dedicated to ending suffering and death due to melanoma by collaborating with many stakeholders to accelerate powerful research. MRA continues to support studies investigating new therapeutic approaches for melanoma that will hopefully help more people. These case studies present the latest promising science that may have real world application and lead to improved outcomes for melanoma patients. MRA’s investment in the field has been critical in catalyzing transformative, strategic, and collaborative investments in scientific discovery and translation. MRA’s Annual Scientific Retreat is the premier annual convening of global thought leaders from across the melanoma research community. By bringing together physician scientists, pharmaceutical and biotech representatives, government officials, and patient advocates, this invitation-only, think-tank style conference aligns key stakeholders to present and discuss emerging ideas and issues shaping melanoma research from bench to bedside.
