Melanocyte Biology and Pigmentation Genetics
Our work on human pigmentation genetics has provided a framework to understand normal variation in this physical trait and the associated genotypic risk for skin cancer development. The genes that determine an individual's skin phototype and the cellular mechanisms that result in the tanning response of melanocytes after UV-exposure of the skin are actively being investigated.

Lots in common. Maybe another university connection for DNAP...?
God Bless and Take care,
