   This $225,000 gift will support the groundbreaking work of Mark Albertini, MD, who specializes in melanoma research and treatment. His work is centered on the importance of T-cells in the immune response against melanoma. The overall goal of Dr. Albertini's research program is to provide an understanding of the immunobiology of human malignant melanoma as a means to develop effective treatment and monitoring strategies for patients with this disease. This goal is pursued with clinical and laboratory studies involving melanoma patients and with preclinical model systems to direct subsequent clinical studies. Research by physicians at the UW Carbone Cancer Center has already shown promising information on DNA vaccines as targeted immunotherapy for melanoma.
   
   Dr. Albertini is an associate professor (with tenure) of medicine at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Albertini is a nationally-known melanoma researcher who has led treatment efforts for patients with metastatic melanoma at the UW Carbone Cancer Center since he joined the faculty in 1993. Dr. Albertini established the UW Carbone Cancer Center Comprehensive Melanoma Clinic in September of 1994 and is the leader of the UW Carbone Cancer Center Melanoma Disease-Oriented working group. He has been awarded the Professionalism Award by the UW Department of Medicine House staff and has been selected for listing by the Best Doctors in America organization. Dr. Albertini has also served as Chief of Oncology at the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital since January 2003.

   Dr. Mark Albertini was there to receive his first of three $75,000 checks from Ann's Hope to help continue his melanoma research at the UW- Comprehensive Cancer Center.
   
   The event was attended by many of Dr. Albertini's current and past patients and well as several families whom have lost a loved one to the disease. The night raised an AMAZING $21,000 for Ann's Hope Foundation so that we may be able to reach our commitment to UWCCC and Dr. Albertini of $225,000.
