He also serves as the Program Director of one of the oldest and most storied dermatopathology fellowship programs in the world. His research interests include molecular diagnostics and prognostics for melanoma, as well as how the immune microenvironment of skin cancers influence response to immunotherapies. Prior to being recruited to NYU, Dr. Moshiri headed the pigmented lesion program at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, where he specialized in delivering oncolytic viral therapy to patients with advanced, treatment-resistant skin cancers. Dr. Moshiri has co-authored more than 80 peer-reviewed publications and textbook chapters, including in high impact journals such as Nature and the New England Journal of Medicine. He is active in local, national, and international dermatology organizations, and serves on committees for the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society of Dermatopathology, and the Association of Professors of Dermatology.
