Darshana Patil

About

I am a Clinical Molecular Pathologist with over 14 years of experience in oncopathology, cancer genomics, and translational research. Currently serving as Senior Director – Global Strategy and Medical Affairs at Datar Cancer Genetics, I lead the development and clinical integration of advanced molecular diagnostics for precision oncology. My work spans tissue and liquid biopsy platforms, including next-generation sequencing, transcriptomics, and functional profiling, to guide personalized treatment strategies and monitor minimal residual disease.

My research focuses on solid tumors such as gliomas, breast, lung, and rare tumors, with a strong emphasis on biomarker discovery and therapy selection. I have led collaborative studies across academia and industry, contributed to peer-reviewed publications, and presented at leading oncology conferences including ASCO, ESMO, and AACR.

I am committed to advancing data-driven, clinically impactful innovations that bring molecular pathology into routine cancer care and improve outcomes for patients worldwide.
