Million-dollar US Department of Defense grant for Peter Mac melanoma research

The United States Department of Defense has called on Peter Mac to help in its fight against melanoma, granting a million dollars to researcher Dr Lorey Smith.
Melanoma is of particular interest to the U.S. military because active-duty service members spend prolonged periods outside, especially during deployment - the greatest incidence rates in the Air Force, Navy, and the Marines.
This has led to the development of its Melanoma Research Program - with the DOD funding leading research across the globe that will benefit both its service personnel and society at large.
