Suresh Udutha

Suresh Udutha, PhD is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Radiology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine. His research focuses on cancer metabolism, particularly in brain tumors such as glioblastoma and oligodendroglioma.

His research interests include:

• Cancer Metabolism
• Neuro-oncology
• Glioblastoma Research
• Metabolic Imaging
• Mass Spectrometry
• Analytical Chemistry

Dr. Udutha's work investigates metabolic vulnerabilities in brain tumors that can be targeted for therapy and visualized through advanced imaging techniques. His recent publications (2023-2025) focus on glutathione and nucleotide biosynthesis pathways, telomerase effects, and lactylation in tumor proliferation. Earlier work (2018) centered on pharmaceutical analysis using mass spectrometry techniques for drug degradation and metabolite characterization.

His research demonstrates strong collaborative networks with UCSF colleagues including Dr. Pavithra Viswanath and Dr. Georgios Batsios, as well as UCLA researchers like Dr. Thomas Graeber. This multidisciplinary approach bridges neuro-oncology with advanced analytical methodologies to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for brain tumors.
