About My Research
Anne Marie Lane is an epidemiologist and biostatistician in the Ocular Melanoma Center. She oversees the Mass. Eye and Ear Uveal Melanoma Registry, which is a resource to better understand melanoma risk, identify biomarkers of melanoma incidence and progression, and evaluate outcomes after treatment. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop treatment strategies that will conserve visual function and improve patient survival.
