Hadassah Melanoma Specialist Awarded Grant for Advanced Research
Renowned for successfully treating patients in advanced stages of melanoma with a personalized vaccine, Dr. Michal Lotem, Hadassah Medical Organization Senior Dermatologist and Oncologist and head of its Center for Melanoma and Cancer Immunotherapy, has been awarded a grant from the prestigious Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA). Based in New York, MRA contributes several million dollars every year to promising researchers in the field of melanoma, but usually to scientists working in the United States.
This grant, for $337,500 dollars over three years, was given to the Hadassah team-- including Dr. Galit Eisenberg and Dr. Roni Engelstein--first to find the best method of treating melanoma under lab conditions and then to identify a medication that will prove effective against the disease in patients.
The research concept involves a receptor on the surface of inflamed cells that Dr. Lotem and her research team located. This receptor regulates the actions the cells can take. The Hadassah team has also found a way to activate this receptor, to stimulate it to accelerate an individual’s immune response against melanoma cells.
"We are talking about a new direction,” explains Dr. Lotem. “The receptor and the importance of its biological activity is what stands at the center of our research, done in cooperation with the researchers from the Hebrew University-- Prof. Michal Baniyash and Dr. Ofra Benny.”
