Dr. Sood received his medical degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. His research is focused in three main areas: 1) mechanisms of angiogenesis and metastasis in ovarian cancer; 2) effects of neuroendocrine stress hormones on ovarian cancer growth and progression, 3) development of new strategies for systemic in vivo siRNA delivery. Dr. Sood has received major recognition for his research accomplishments including the Hunter Award, the Margaret Greenfield/Carmel Cohen Excellence in Ovarian Cancer Research Prize, and the GCF/Claudia Cohen Research Foundation Prize for Outstanding Gynecologic Cancer Researcher. He is an elected member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and the Association of American Physicians (AAP).

Research Interests
A major and consistent theme for my scientific research has been on understanding human cancer biology and converting lab discoveries into novel therapeutics. Our recent work has been focused in the following areas:
Delivering on the promise of RNAi therapy. Our research group is at the forefront of science related to targeting the “undruggable” using non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) for therapy. The use of short-interfering RNA (siRNA) allows rapid therapy development for any target of interest, and could have a profound impact on many cancer types. We are focusing on using siRNA-based strategies rather than longer fragments because many cancers have alterations in the RNAi processing machinery. To address many of the existing challenges with RNAi therapy, we carried out a systematic approach for identifying safe and effective methods for systemic siRNA delivery. After extensive testing, a clinical trial has been started. We have also developed several other platforms (e.g., chitosan, rHDL) for ncRNA delivery into cancer and stromal cells. Bridging the science to clinic. We have had a major focus on targeting the tumor microenvironment. Recent projects are focused on: 1) understanding the mechanisms of and overcoming adaptive resistance to anti-angiogenesis drugs; 2) identifying and targeting novel angiogenesis pathways; 3) defining the role of platelets and exosomes in the microenvironment; 4) overcoming immune suppression in ovarian cancers. Disrupting neural effects on tumor growth. Although many researchers have long suspected links between chronic stress and cancer progression, hard scientific evidence was largely lacking. Our group has provided both basic and translational medical knowledge of the role of chronic sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation in cancer growth and progression. We were the first to show that SNS mediators can directly promote tumor angiogenesis and protect cancer cells from anoikis. Our current work is focused on identifying mechanism of neo-innervation in the tumor microenvironment.

Very good (unreadable). I am very grateful and very happy with
I felt very comfortable, could understand everything he explained to me. Was very professional and upfront. Explained my cancer in a way I hadn't been told before.
My care team is wonderful. I feel I am getting the best care possible. My team hears me, sees me and treats me with professional kindness.
Very good explain to me very well about my disease
Dr. Sood is the most caring doctor I've ever had and the best at explaining my condition and my options.
We came in for a second opinion and learned a lot more about my cancer and what I should and should not be taking. - it was a great experience and Dr was very caring
