Jonathan Licht of UF has received a grant from the NIH to study how melanoma spreads to the liver. Uveal melanoma affects the pigment cells in the eyes and becomes increasingly deadly as it spreads to other organs including the liver.
“Uveal melanoma is a devastating disease with few therapeutic options,” said Licht. “Our group will determine the mechanisms by which this disease metastasizes and will identify which of these may represent new targets for therapy.”
