About

I am a qualified Hemato-Oncology physician and graduated from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, in 2024. My training has included both pediatric and adult hematology, with exposure to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. My primary areas of interest are leukemia, bone marrow transplantation, and aplastic anemia.

Hematology is a rapidly evolving field with expanding therapeutic approaches, including immunotherapies, targeted therapies, and cellular therapies. My research interests focus on optimizing the delivery of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and improving outcomes in patients with hematological disorders and malignancies. I am also interested in transplant immunology, and translational hematology research.
