Dr. Posch is a board-certified physician-scientist with nearly 15 years of experience in clinical dermatology and substantial productivity in melanoma and basic cancer research. In previous studies, he has highlighted the critical role of the MAPK, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and cell cycle pathways for NRAS mutant melanoma maintenance. He has also discovered novel signaling networks of the PD-1 receptor in cancer cells. His clinical responsibilities include the management of patients with different (cutaneous) neoplasms and complex dermatological diseases.
