Scott Eric Woodman MD, PHD

Dr. Woodman is an assistant professor in the Departments of Melanoma Medical Oncology and Systems Biology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. He earned his M.D. and Ph.D. (Molecular Pharmacology) through the NIH Medical Scientist Training Program at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He went on to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School for his internal medicine internship and residency training and completed his medical oncology fellowship at the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

The primary focus of Dr. Woodman’s research laboratory is on understanding the molecular underpinnings of uveal (eye), mucosal and acral lentiginous melanomas, and on designing novel therapeutic approaches to these cancers. He is a principal investigator or co-investigator on multiple clinical trials. Dr. Woodman conducts a concerted, ongoing effort to translate his laboratory research findings into the clinic, and his clinical observations back to the laboratory.
