Congratulations to our PhD students, Josh Hattersley and Max Jackson, on the publication of their first papers!
Josh's paper, "Revealing the structural microenvironment of high metastatic risk uveal melanomas following decellularisation", identifies uveal melanoma metastatic risk specific ECM proteins by developing methodology for decellularisation of low- and high-metastatic risk tissue samples (LR-D3 vs. HR-M3).
Max's paper, "Differentiating Choroidal Melanomas and Nevi using a self-supervised deep learning model applied to clinical fundoscopy images", tests the validity of a self-supervised deep learning model, RETFound, for differentiating posterior uveal (choroidal) melanoma and nevus.
