Research & Interests

Dr. Mallya's research is focused on the molecular mechanisms of oral precancer and cancer and on parathyroid neoplasia.

In studies funded by the American Institute of Cancer Research, he is studying the role of vitamin D in modulating the development of oral epithelial dysplasia and neoplasia and its interactions with the cyclin D1 pathway.

In collaborative studies funded by the NIH/NIDDK, he is investigating the mechanism of cyclin D1s oncogenic role in parathyroid neoplasia.
