Research
The following research projects were developed using data from the granulosa cell tumor database.
Sood Laboratory
Dr. Anil K. Sood is a Professor in the Department of Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Medicine at UT MD Anderson, where he has held multiple leadership roles, including co-director of the Center for RNA Interference and Non-Coding RNA, Director of the Blanton-Davis Ovarian Cancer Research Program, and co-lead of the Ovarian Cancer Moon Shot Program. His research is broadly focused on understanding cancer biology and translating laboratory discoveries into innovative therapeutics. Within this portfolio, Dr. Sood has a growing interest in granulosa cell tumors, a rare and understudied subset of ovarian malignancies. His work in this area is aimed at defining the unique molecular and microenvironmental features that drive tumor initiation, progression, and recurrence. By leveraging advanced platforms such as multi-omics profiling and spatial analyses, his team seeks to uncover novel, targetable pathways and develop rational therapeutic strategies tailored to this disease. Ultimately, his goal is to bridge critical gaps in biological understanding and accelerate the development of effective, mechanism-based therapies for patients with granulosa cell tumors.
