Srinivas Viswanathan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at Harvard University. His research focuses on the pathways that drive cancer initiation, progression, and drug resistance. He employs genomic and functional genetic technologies to identify dysregulated pathways in cancer and explore targeted therapeutic benefits. His work combines genomic profiling of primary tissue specimens with functional approaches in vitro and vivo systems to uncover new cancer drivers and associated therapeutic vulnerabilities. His specific research interests include cancer genomics and epigenomics using next-generation sequencing platforms, with a focus on understanding molecular alterations in prostate and kidney cancers. He is particularly interested in the genetics and biology of translocation renal cell carcinoma and the differences in cancer incidence and outcomes between males and females. Viswanathan aims to address fundamental questions in cancer biology to inspire the development of new, rational cancer therapies to improve patient outcomes.
