“This is the wave of the future for dermatology.”

MELA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: MELA), developer of MelaFind®, an FDA approved optical diagnostic device that assists dermatologists in the diagnosis of melanoma, hosted a MelaFind® workshop during the 10th Annual Maui Derm Conference in Hawaii. The conference seeks to increase physicians’ knowledge of developments in medical and cosmetic dermatology.

Dr. Monica Scheel, a Board Certified Dermatologist based in Hawaii, hosted the MelaFind® workshop which reviewed the clinical use and benefits of the device as well as future technology development opportunities for the device and its underlying optical imaging and data analysis technology. Dr. Scheel had also presented clinical data at MELA Sciences’ Clinical Advisory meeting at the Winter Clinical Dermatology Conference held a week earlier.

“Adding MelaFind to my practice has helped mobilize patients and drive disease awareness; I’m thrilled with this new technology,” commented Dr. Scheel. “This is the wave of the future for dermatology, a new way to visualize and analyze atypical pigmented skin lesions below the skin surface. MelaFind has helped increase the sensitivity of my biopsies, as well as helped me prioritize lesions that can be monitored.”

MELA Sciences also displayed four clinical posters at the well-attended and highly successful Maui Derm conference. The posters reviewed clinical data from practice and clinical settings that highlighted how MelaFind has helped dermatologists in the assessment of clinically ambiguous pigmented skin lesions (moles) in a variety of patient types including young adults, an area of growing concern, and those with atypical mole syndrome. The posters and abstracts are available here.
