Michael Sand gives the reader an overview of
current techniques in expression profiling of miRNAs and their maturation
machinery in the skin. This book is a postdoctoral thesis on miRNAs in
cutaneous malignant melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer with a focus on the
miRNA processing machinery and miRNA expression profiling. The research
presented in this book was performed in the Dermatologic Surgery Section at the
Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Allergology of the Ruhr-University
Bochum, Germany and gives the reader an overview of current techniques in
expression profiling of miRNAs and their maturation machinery in the skin.

About the Author
Michael Sand, MD studied medicine at the Ruhr-University of Bochum
/ Germany, Harvard Medical School Boston and the University of California, San
Diego (UCSD). After board certification in Dermatology, Venereology and
Emergency Medicine at the Ruhr-University Bochum / Germany he and his team
started to investigate the role of microRNA in the skin. He is currently an
attending physician in the Department of Plastic Surgery, Catholic Clinics of
the Ruhr Peninsula, Essen, Germany with a clinical focus on surgical therapy of
skin cancer and a research focus on the role of microRNAs in malignant skin
tumors.
