Elective Presentations

I'm doing a visiting elective and we are required to do a Powerpoint presentation on a "cutting edge" topic in dermatology. I've researched NEJM and JAAD, but I'm having a hard time determining what might be interesting and/or pertinent to a group of residents. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

When I was a med student one of the attendings was doing some cool/cutting edge stuff with melanoma vaccine derived from listeria and putting imiquimod (aldara) on it. Here are some articles: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/...ez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum

Nice! Yeah, this is definitely cutting edge. One of the topics I am considering is immunotherapy in melanoma and this is right up my street. Thanks for your help.
