Hunter Shain
A. Hunter Shain, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco, where he leads the Shain Laboratory. His research uses single-cell and spatial genomic approaches to trace how skin cancers evolve — from the earliest mutations in normal skin through to invasive melanoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. His work has defined early driver events in melanoma, including TERT promoter mutations, and mapped the genetic trajectories of individual melanocytes. Dr. Shain co-leads a Human Tumor Atlas Network research center and received his PhD from Stanford University.
