Vinay K. Puduvalli is a Senior Professor at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. His research focuses on neuro-oncology, specifically gliomas, tumor biology, and the development of novel therapeutic strategies for primary and metastatic brain tumors. His recent work includes pioneering dual phagocytosis-checkpoint blockade to revitalize immune surveillance in glioblastoma models, identifying fatty acid binding proteins as mediators of ferroptosis resistance, and employing serial multiomics to uncover anti-glioblastoma responses. He has also led phase 2 clinical trials for recurrent ependymomas and contributed to cancer neuroscience trial design. His publications appear in Nature Communications, Science Translational Medicine, and Nature Medicine.
