Dora Dias-Santagata

A specialist in the molecular characterization of lung, thyroid, and rare malignant tumors, Dora developed and implemented the first high-throughput clinical multiplexed cancer genotyping assay. The test is able to identify 120 mutations in 13 different cancer genes. Dora is still involved in both innovative assay development and patient care, working as assistant professor of pathology at Harvard Medical School and as assistant molecular pathologist and co-director of the Translational Research Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital.
