"I am very grateful for this career development award, which will help protect time for research while I continue caring for patients with skin cancer. As a clinician, my daily work directly informs the questions we want to study, and my research helps advance how I practice medicine. This award support makes it possible to do both, and I’m optimistic that it will lead to meaningful improvements for patients with Merkel cell carcinoma." - Aubriana McEvoy
