DERMATOLOGIC RESEARCH:

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Institute

Induction of Ia Antigen by Gamma Interferon on Melanoma and Melanocytes – demonstrated that gamma interferon induces Ia expression and is implicated in the cellular immune response to melanoma.

New York University Medical Center

Prognostic Index for Malignant Melanoma – showed that prognosis for Stage I melanoma is best predicted when the mitotic index is considered along with Breslow thickness.

Oncogene Expression in Dysplastic Nevi – serologic determination of ras-oncogene expression on dysplastic nevi specimens.

Characteristics of Familial Melanoma – the unique clinical features of these patients were examined.

Rockefeller University

The role of macrophages and their mechanism as immune clearing cells.

Wesleyan University

Spontaneous mutations in Pneumococcal bacteria and their role in colony formation.
