Team Spotlight: Dr. Anthony Morlandt, MD, DDS, FACS
We’re proud to highlight Dr. Anthony Morlandt, Chief of Oral Oncology within the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Medicine. Dr. Morlandt is an academic head and neck surgeon with a focus on advancing oral cancer care. His oncology practice focuses on surgical treatment of tumors involving the oral cavity and oropharynx, salivary glands, skin of the head and neck, and skull base. His clinical and academic focus centers on helping clinicians and patients better understand individual risk associated with oral precancerous lesions.
His current research focuses on the use of prognostic biomarkers in the progression of oral dysplasia to cancer. His work has been published in more than 50 scientific articles and book chapters and he has given over 100 invited oral and video presentations. Dr. Morlandt received the Faculty Educator Development Award of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the first in Alabama to do so. He has been inducted into the American Head and Neck Society and is a Fellow of both the American College of Surgeons and the American Association of Craniomaxillofacial Surgeons.
As Proteocyte AI's Chief Medical Officer, USA Dr. Morlandt’s expertise plays an important role in advancing the science behind STRATICYTE®, supporting more precise, patient-centered decision-making in oral cancer risk assessment.
“The Straticyte test represents an important step toward precision medicine in oral oncology, allowing clinicians to better risk-stratify dysplastic lesions and focus intervention on patients most likely to progress to cancer. By integrating objective molecular data with clinical judgment, we can move beyond qualitative histology alone and improve how we surveil and treat patients with potentially malignant oral disorders.”
