Dhamotharan Pattarayan

Dhamotharan Pattarayan is a Research Fellow at the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy, affiliated with the Center for Pharmacogenetics. His work focuses on cancer immunotherapy, lung biology, and molecular mechanisms underlying inflammation and fibrosis. He holds an M. Tech and PhD, and his research integrates genomic, pharmacological, and immunological approaches.

• Education: M. Tech, PhD (degrees not specified in full)

His research interests span cancer immunotherapy strategies to combat anti-PD-1 resistance, lung injury mechanisms involving TGF-β signaling and TLR4 pathways, and microRNA regulation in disease contexts. He has explored natural compounds like tannic acid and C-phycocyanin for their antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Recent work includes studies on MYC RNA-binding functions in cancer and lncRNA regulators in tumor immunity, as well as lentiviral vector immunogenicity in tumor models. His publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches linking molecular biology, pharmacology, and clinical applications.
