About Suresh H. Moolgavkar
- Suresh H.
- Moolgavkar M.D., Ph.D.
- (born 3 January 1943 in Bombay, India) is a mathematician and epidemiologist at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
- Among his many scientific contributions is the development of the two-stage clonal expansion (TSCE) model of carcinogenesis, also known as the Moolgavkar-Venzon-Knudson (MVK) model, a stochastic cell-level description of carcinogenesis based on Alfred G.
- Knudson’s two-hit hypothesis.
- In its original development the TSCE model represents tumor initiation as the first hit, followed by cell proliferation (clonal expansion) and malignant transformation as the second hit.
- It has been interpreted as describing the initiation-promotion-progression sequence observed in chemical carcinogenesis and has been applied widely for the analysis of both experimental and epidemiological data for purposes of quantitative risk assessment.
