About Todd Morgan
Todd M. Morgan, M.D. is a urological surgeon specializing in the treatment of genitourinary malignancies. Dr. Morgan is a translational surgeon-scientist, and his research spans the spectrum from preclinical laboratory-based research to prospective clinical trials. The primary focus of his laboratory is on identifying key pathways that predict response and resistance to treatment in genitourinary malignancies. This includes work in prostate cancer to develop liquid biopsy approaches that can guide precision-based therapeutic strategies in real time, as well as ongoing research in renal cell carcinoma to identify genomic signatures for risk stratification.
Dr. Morgan is currently an Associate Professor of Urology and has been at the University of Michigan since 2012. In addition to his research pursuits, he is a busy clinician and surgeon offering advanced robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgical approaches for patients with genitourinary malignancies. He has substantial expertise in the use and interpretation of molecular biomarkers, which can help guide individualized treatment choice for some patients.
