Clinical Expertise and Areas of Research Interest

 

          Lung Cancer, Interventional Bronchology, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

 

                        I am particularly interested in the diagnostics of lung cancer, especially to explore the possibility of developing reliable screening tools and early diagnostic markers. I am also working on quality of life measures of lung cancer and COPD.                   I have been independently performing fiberoptic bronchoscopies since almost four years, and have done more than 300 procedures till date. I also perform transbronchial needle aspirations for diagnostic purposes. In addition, I routinely perform other pulmonary diagnostic procedures such as ultrasound guided needle aspirations and trucut biopsies of lung masses, as well as pleural biopsies. I propose to gain expertise in and initiate techniques of interventional bronchology in my Institution.
