Rate My Professor Graham Mann

Mann's research focuses on all aspects of melanoma control, including the genetics of melanoma risk in families and the population, environmental and psychological factors, sunbed use in young adults, and molecular markers and targets for improved diagnosis and treatment. He co-leads highly translational programs supported by NHMRC grants, initiated the Australian Melanoma Genome Project as co-PI, contributed to the GenoMEL consortium and Australian kConFab breast cancer genetics consortium, and serves on the Scientific Steering Committee of the International Cancer Genome Consortium. With 210 primary research papers cited over 64,000 times and an h-index of 47, key publications include 'Genomic Classification of Cutaneous Melanoma' (Cell, 2015), 'Genome-wide association study identifies three new melanoma susceptibility loci' (Nature Genetics, 2011), and 'DNA Methylation Classes of Stage II and III Primary Melanomas and Their Clinical and Prognostic Significance' (2024). His contributions extend to the MelCOR Australian Clinical Outcomes Register, ACRF Centre for Excellence in Melanoma Diagnosis, and interim directorship of the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics. Awards include the Professor J.A. Young Medal (2010) for excellence in research and service to the University of Sydney, NSW Premier’s Awards for Excellence in Translational Cancer Research (2009, 2017), NSW Premier’s Wildfire Award (2014), RACP Roche Fellowship (1987), and University of Sydney Medical Foundation Scholarship (1987-1988).
