We have a dedicated interest groups and work programs within MPNE that communicate regularly to ensure progress throughout the year and in particular, for MPNE meetings.

Early Melanoma Interest Group

With early stage Melanoma being treated with systemic therapies, strategies for effective early detection and risk stratification become essential. This group focuses on technology relevant to Early Stage Melanoma and we are very proud to be project partner in iTOBOS, a Horizon2020 project dedicated to the Early Detection of Melanoma. This is our latest interest group, so watch this space!
