Biography
[edit]
Amit Dutt, born on 6 September 1973 in Patna, capital of the Indian state of Bihar, earned a BSc in botany from Deshbandhu College, Delhi University in 1994 and continued there to complete a post-graduate diploma in Biochemical Technology in 1995 from the Sri Venkateswara College.[2] Moving to Jamia Millia Islamia, he obtained his MSc in 1997 and enrolled for doctoral studies at the Delhi centre of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology to secure a PhD in plant genetics in 2000, guided by Vanga Siva Reddy of Delhi University and Arif Ali of Jamia Millia Islamia.[3] Subsequently, he traveled to the University of Zurich and, working under the guidance of Alex Hajnal at the Institute of Molecular Life Sciences of the university, secured another PhD in Developmental Biology in 2004.[4][5]
Dutt continued in Zurich to work at the Institute of Neuropathology of the university and in 2005, he moved to join the laboratory of Matthew Meyerson at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT as a research associate, working there till 2010 and stationing at the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute, a Harvard Medical School affiliate.[2] On his return to India in October 2010, he joined Tata Memorial Centre at the Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC), Navi Mumbai, where he served as the principal investigator at scientist (grade F) and headed the Integrated Cancer Genomics Lab, popularly known as Dutt Lab.[6] He served at ACTREC until 2024, before joining the University of Delhi South Campus as a Professor at the Department of Genetics in February 2024.
Legacy and honors
[edit]
Dutt is known to have made significant contributions to the pathobiology and genomics of epithelial cancers, blending basic and translational cancer genomics with functional mechanistic insights, with a focus on cancers prevalent among Indian patients, garnering over 11,600 citations globally (h-index: 41).[7][8] The group led by him has been engaged in the study of cancer in the lung, breast, gallbladder, head and neck, tongue, and thyroid, and his research may be classified under three heads: cancer genomics, functional genomics, and pathogen discovery.[6]
During his PhD in Developmental Biology at the University of Zurich, Dutt provided the first evidence for differential activity of an EGF splice variant, amplifying inductive signaling through the serine protease ROM-1 during vulval development in C. elegans. At the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, he identified novel oncogenic FGFR2 mutations, driving therapeutic advancements in endometrial cancers.
In lung cancer, Dutt described the first comprehensive landscape of actionable mutations in approximately 450 lung adenocarcinoma patients, identifying novel FGFR3 activating mutations in 5.5% of cases and establishing FGFR3 as a therapeutic target.[9] His characterization of approximately 450 lung squamous subtype genomes similarly highlighted FGFR1 as a target, supporting subtype-specific lung cancer treatments by repurposing FGFR-targeted therapies.[10] He also developed a mouse model demonstrating that weekly dosing of osimertinib achieves therapeutic efficacy, potentially reducing treatment costs to one-seventh of the standard monthly cost, leading to a clinical trial at Tata Memorial Centre.[11] A 2025 study identified co-occurring tumour suppressor gene mutations as early indicators of relapse and poor prognosis in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients, highlighting ctDNA analysis as a non-invasive tool for monitoring clonal evolution.[12]
In tongue cancer, Dutt provided the first genetic alteration landscape for Indian patients, noting a lack of HPV infection and a tobacco-associated mutational signature. He established the miR-944/MMP10/AXL-axis as critical for inducing the EMT phenotype,[13] identified NOTCH1 alterations as essential for maintaining stem-like cells, and proposed MMP10 as a prognostic biomarker to potentially spare early-stage patients from elective neck dissection, with a clinical trial underway at Tata Memorial Centre.[14] His comprehensive analysis of infectious pathogens across multiple cancers revealed a significant prevalence of Fusobacterium nucleatum in tongue tumours, mutually exclusive with HPV,[15] and identified a novel UBE3C-LRP5 fusion transcript in head and neck cancer activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, with the FDA-approved drug pyrvinium pamoate showing promise in inhibiting tumour growth driven by this fusion.[16] He also identified a genome signature associating tobacco chewing with oral cancer,[17] and proposed MMP10 as a candidate to predict metastases in early-stage tongue cancer, potentially sparing patients from elective neck dissection.[18]
In gallbladder cancer, Dutt proposed a carcinogenesis model tracing progression from dysplasia to invasive adenocarcinoma,[19] identified a novel association with non-typhoidal Salmonella infection as an inflammatory trigger,[20] and established that KRAS (G12V), but not KRAS (G13D), mutations predict response to anti-EGFR treatment.
In breast cancer, he elucidated the molecular basis of progesterone's impact on PR-negative cells[21] and identified loss-of-function mutations in CDKN1B that confer resistance to tamoxifen and fulvestrant, while positioning CDKN1B as a prognostic biomarker guiding patients toward CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy.[22] His lab has further extended its work to thyroid cancers, with comprehensive genomic profiling of both papillary and anaplastic thyroid cancers in Indian patients, identifying novel alterations including those in THRA as potential modifiers of cellular plasticity.[23]
Of most significance, translating leads from his lab, Dutt developed a diagnostic test to detect EGFR mutations for lung cancer patients, reducing its cost from approximately $250 to $12 per test, currently offered at Tata Memorial Hospital on a routine basis.[24] He developed ClinOme, a GUI-based automated tool for genomic analysis, now implemented in the Medical Oncology Department at Tata Memorial Hospital and commercialised through an MOU with 4baseCare Genomics Pvt Ltd. He contributed to the development of a first-of-its-kind Indian population-specific cancer gene panel based on whole exome and transcriptome data from 1,500 cancer patients.[25] Computationally, his team developed HPVDetector, a freely distributable tool for detecting HPV types and integration sites using NGS data, adopted by over 350 laboratories across 39 countries.[4] He established TMC-SNPdb, the first Indian SNP reference database from whole exome sequencing of 1,800 individuals, used by 200 research labs across 13 countries,[26] and the Infectious Pathogen Detector (IPD), an in-silico GUI-based pipeline for NGS-based pathogen analysis, utilised by over 50 labs across 11 countries. His lab has also filed a patent (Application No. 202321054451) for novel fusion transcripts and their use in treating cancer. He also pioneered Raman Spectroscopy-based detection of RNA viruses in saliva, establishing a proof-of-principle for a rapid diagnostic method.[27]
More recently, Dutt has established an ICMR Centre for Advanced Research at the University of Delhi South Campus, with a dedicated focus on cost-effective liquid biopsy approaches exploring the biology of fragmentomics and DNA methylation in cancer. The centre houses a state-of-the-art facility at the Dutt Lab, comprising an Element Aviti next-generation sequencing platform, a Bio-Rad QX600 ddPCR system with Automated Droplet Generator (Auto DG), an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 for nucleic acid quality assessment, and a QIAGEN EZ2 Connect for automated nucleic acid extraction. This infrastructure positions the lab at the forefront of non-invasive cancer diagnostics research in India, with particular interest in cancer-associated pathogens using spatial transcriptomics.
