Dilara Akbulut is a Research Fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's Sloan Kettering Institute, affiliated with the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Her research focuses on molecular characterization of urologic malignancies, particularly bladder neuroendocrine carcinomas.
Her primary research interests include Molecular Pathology, Urologic Oncology, and Biomarker Discovery, with emphasis on transcription factor profiling (NEUROD1, ASCL1, POU2F3) to define molecular subsets of bladder cancer. She investigates prognostic implications of molecular signatures and therapeutic targets in neuroendocrine differentiation.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a concentrated focus on molecular subtyping of bladder neuroendocrine carcinomas, utilizing expanded neuroendocrine markers to identify clinically relevant subsets. Her work bridges diagnostic pathology with translational oncology, particularly in mismatch repair deficiency and immunotherapy biomarker research for urothelial carcinomas.
Dr. Akbulut maintains active collaborations within Memorial Sloan Kettering's Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, working closely with surgical pathologists and oncologists. Her research leverages institutional resources including tissue repositories and molecular diagnostics platforms to advance precision oncology in urologic cancers.
