Public-private research collaboration enhances prevention, diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer across Denmark

Gabriela Grove is currently engaged in two significant projects with Molholm. The first project explores a new app-based AI technology for standardized skin imaging, aimed at early identification of skin changes. The technology could become a vital clinical tool for early skin cancer treatment. The second project focuses on imaging-based treatment, striving for more precise and optimal management of specific skin cancer types.

Gabriela Grove highlights the benefits of the collaboration:

"It is very rewarding to be part of the research collaboration between Bispebjerg Hospital and Molholm. The partnership undoubtedly strengthens research by combining public and private resources and expertise. This leads to faster and more efficient projects, which can potentially be implemented directly in various clinics."

Flemming Andersen, Clinic Director at Private Hospital Molholm, echoes this sentiment:

"The collaboration with Bispebjerg Hospital and Aalborg University Hospital has allowed us to participate in groundbreaking research that we couldn't conduct alone. The public-private partnership has created a synergy where we can make significant progress towards better prevention and treatment of skin cancer together."

The research center’s collaboration aims to drive innovative research on risk factors, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer. Additionally, it seeks to spread research data across Denmark through a national network and communicate the application of data and knowledge via guidelines for professionals and patients. Ultimately, the goal is to increase awareness of skin cancer throughout Denmark.

Promising results are already emerging from the collaboration, with hopes to implement more advanced technologies and methods. Sharing research data and knowledge nationally is crucial to improving the health of all Danes affected by skin cancer or its precursors.
