About Dr. Patel
Dr. Patel is a medical oncologist and Associate Professor, Director of the Uveal Melanoma Program, and Melanoma Fellowship Program Director at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas specializing in uveal, cutaneous, and mucosal melanoma with one of the largest metastatic uveal melanoma practices in the world. She has led several investigator-initiated and multi-institutional clinical trials, including studies of targeted therapy, immunotherapy, T cell therapy, and antibody-drug conjugates for uveal melanoma. Her lab work focuses on translational research, characterizing longitudinal molecular signatures in tumor samples from patients receiving treatment. She also leads several cutaneous melanoma projects with SWOG and serves as Melanoma Chair for SWOG. She has received intramural and extramural funding including NIH grants. Her goal is to develop effective therapies for adjuvant and metastatic settings, and to identify biomarkers to predict clinical benefit.
