Srinivas Malladi, Ph.D. Associate Professor School Medical School Department Pathology Graduate Programs Cancer Biology Biography Srinivas obtained his Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin and then joined Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as an American Cancer Society Fellow with Dr. Joan Massague. Dr. Malladi’s lab in the Department of Pathology is focused on understanding how disseminated cancer cells survive and give rise to overt metastasis at a cellular and molecular level using a multidisciplinary and integrative approach.
