Abstract 7643: Melanoma alters the bone marrow immune composition in an age-related manner

What are your long-term career objectives? 

My thesis work focuses on improving the outcomes for elderly patients with melanoma by studying the age-specific immune responses to melanoma and the impact of the aged bone marrow on the anti-tumor response. My long-term goal is to become a principal investigator aiming to improve the overall health and well-being of elderly patients suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases.
