Priyadharsini Nagarajan

Priyadharsini Nagarajan is a Senior Professor at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Her research integrates dermatopathology, oncology, and immunology, focusing on melanoma and cutaneous neoplasms. Her recent work employs spatial single-cell proteomics and metabolomics to define tumor microenvironments predictive of immunotherapy response in mucosal melanoma. She has also characterized molecular profiles of melanomas arising in blue nevi, deep penetrating nevus-like melanomas, and primary cutaneous apocrine carcinomas, linking histopathologic features with clinical outcomes.
