Harlow was awarded $100,000 last Wednesday by the Melanoma Research Foundation to fund his work developing therapeutic approaches to treat melanoma, a skin cancer that kills thousands of Americans each year. The award—the Established Investigator Grant—will support Harlow’s research for two years. Harlow was one of five to be selected from an applicant pool of 60 for this award after a scientific advisory committee looked over all the proposals and chose the most promising ones, according to the Tim Turnham, the foundation?...
