About

Dr Aparna Rao is a medical oncologist with a passion for improving outcomes for individuals diagnosed with melanoma. Their work focuses on a groundbreaking approach to identifying key markers and new treatment targets for melanoma patients by investigating how tumours use fuels.
Dr Rao's research delves into cancer metabolism, exploring how melanoma cells utilise fuel for energy. Specifically, their research investigates how melanoma utilises glucose as an energy source. This research aims to uncover the connection between glucose utilisation in melanoma and its potential link to poorer treatment outcomes.
Dr Rao's dedication to advancing melanoma treatment is evident in their pursuit of knowledge and expertise.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”

— Dr Aparna Rao
