Priyadharsini Nagarajan, MD PhD MBBS FCAP FASCP

Department of Anatomical Pathology, Division of Pathology-Lab Medicine Div

About Dr. Priyadharsini Nagarajan

After completion of medical school in India, I came to the US to pursue a PhD in basic sciences, as there were no physician scientist programs available in India. Through an interdisciplinary graduate program at the University at Buffalo, I did my PhD in Dr. Satrajit Sinha’s lab. My doctoral research involved elucidating the role of Ets1, an oncoprotein overexpressed in several advanced malignancies, in the regulation of epidermal differentiation and transformation. I generated a transgenic mouse model for squamous carcinogenesis utilizing tetracycline-inducible overexpression of Ets1 in differentiating keratinocytes. This mouse model allowed us to examine the molecular events in the early stages of squamous carcinogenesis and we have identified several target proteins that have the potential to predict the biologic behaviors of these tumors.

I then did a residency in Anatomic and Clinical pathology at the Yale New Haven Hospital program. Due to my interest in skin pathology and tumor biology, I spent most of my elective time presenting at several tumor boards and learning Dermatopathology. My clinical research projects during residency include retrospective analyses of 100 external ear melanomas and 10 cases of carcinosarcomas, which are extremely rare malignant tumors of the skin.

I am currently pursuing a Dermatopathology fellowship at the Ohio State University. Realizing my interest in translational research, my fellowship director Dr. Sara Peters customized my fellowship to include a year of basic science research in addition to my year of clinical training. My research in Dr. Tatiana Oberyszyn’s lab involved examining the preventive role an inhibitor of macrophage migration inhibitory factor, a cytokine overexpressed in tumors and inflammatory states in a mouse model of ultraviolet radiation induced squamous cell carcinoma.

As for the future, I hope to use my expertise in dermatopathology, basic science and translational research in cancer research, particularly in the field of squamous carcinogenesis and tumor surveillance.
