Srinivas Bhatt

Srinivas Bhatt develops clinical approaches for detecting and monitoring dormant disseminated tumor cells, combining advanced single-cell technologies with bone marrow sampling protocols to identify patients at risk of late metastatic recurrence. His research has established multi-marker panels that distinguish dormant from actively cycling DTCs in patient bone marrow aspirates. He has developed imaging approaches for non-invasive detection of dormant micrometastases. His work on circulating tumor cell dormancy markers is enabling clinical trials of dormancy-targeted therapies for patients with minimal residual disease.
