Scientific Retreat
MRA’s Annual Scientific Retreat is an invitation-only, think-tank-style meeting focused on the exchange of cutting-edge melanoma research as well as discussion of issues of broad interest to the oncology community. The 11th Annual Scientific Retreat will be held February 25th - February 27th, 2019 in Washington, DC. Retreat participants will include clinical and scientific thought leaders including leading scientists from the United States and abroad, as well as senior leadership from industry, government agencies, non-profit foundations, and other like-minded organizations. The purpose of the retreat is to advance the melanoma field by facilitating early sharing of data in an interactive forum. The retreat agenda will feature MRA-funded investigators discussing their work as well as lectures and panel sessions on special topics of interest, such as regulatory and policy issues that impact the pace of research.
