About Me

During my fellowship (DM, 3 years) in PGIMER, Chandigarh, I have been exposed to a wide spectrum of cases pertaining to hemato-lymphoid malignancies, solid tumors, and benign hematology. The hospital sees over 600 new oncology and 250 new hematology cases each year. I have been trained to independently manage cases including emergencies and complications. A well-established Thalassemia daycare and hemophilia services are an essential part of this division. At St. John’s Medical College Hospital, Bangalore, I was appointed as a consultant in August 2018. I have continued to put my hematology oncology training into clinical practice. We have nurse practitioners dedicated exclusively to the care of these children and regular multi-disciplinary tumor board meetings help optimize care for these patients. I have participated in National and International conferences. We also involve in National Clinical trials (InPOG – Indian Pediatric Oncology Group). At Bristol Royal Children's Hospital, I developed experience and expertise in managing children undergoing stem cell transplantation (allogenic, autologous, and cord blood transplant) for various hematological conditions including refractory leukemia, lymphoma, benign hematological conditions including hemoglobinopathies (thalassemia and sickle cell disease), marrow failure syndromes and immunodeficiency disorders.
