معرفی
Simon F. Roy, MD is a Clinical Fellow and Dermatology Instructor at Yale School of Medicine, specializing in dermatopathology and melanoma research. He completed his medical degree at McGill University (2017), anatomical pathology residency at the University of Montreal (2022), and dermatopathology fellowship at Yale (2023). His research in the Bosenberg Lab focuses on melanoma immunotherapy, epigenetic mechanisms, and ex-vivo tumor modeling. Notable awards include the Melanoma Research Alliance Fellowship (2023) and Best Fellow Oral Case Presentation (2023).
Education:
- MD, McGill University, 2017
- Anatomical Pathology Residency, University of Montreal, 2022
- Dermatopathology Fellowship, Yale School of Medicine, 2023
Research Interests:
Dr. Roy investigates anti-melanoma immune responses, programmed cell death pathways, and epigenetic drivers of tumor progression. His work emphasizes improving diagnostics for melanoma subtypes in diverse populations, particularly acral melanoma in patients with skin of color. Recent projects include developing prognostic models using methylation analysis and exploring novel therapeutic targets in immunotherapy-resistant tumors.
Key Publications:
His recent work spans molecular characterization of melanocytic tumors, tumor necrosis as a prognostic marker, and HPV-independent vulvar neoplasia. He has contributed to over 40 peer-reviewed articles since 2017, with a focus on bridging clinical dermatopathology and translational research.
Awards & Grants:
- $50,000 MRA Dermatology Fellowship Award (2023)
- CIHR Fellowship (2023)
- FQR Santé Fellowship (2023)
Labs & Collaborations:
Primary affiliation with the Bosenberg Lab (Yale Cancer Center) and collaborations with the Halaban Lab. Active in translational oncology initiatives and epigenetic biomarker development.
