Brief write up
“Since 1974, I have been involved with Medical Oncology/Hematology along with strong interaction with other clinical branches and basic scientists.
At present, my strong interest is to develop developmental therapeutics with clinical research program. This will have integrated projects involving all the branches of clinical oncology as well as potential basic research. Also, I have started biological therapeutics targeting various molecular targets on the cancer cells. I have been pioneer in establishing Bone Marrow Transplantation set up in India.
I have been involved with about 500 National and International Publications. I have played an important role in establishing D.M. Medical Oncology (Mumbai University) at Tata Memorial Hospital. I am also recognized a M.Sc. and Ph.D. Guide in Applied Biology.
From infancy, now our department has entered into modern Medical and Pediatric Oncology with full infrastructure including Bone Marrow Transplantation, Hematology Laboratory, Flow Cytometer, Cytogenetic and Molecular Laboratory. Day Care Chemotherapy Unit and Patient Counciling Groups. I have been the Chief Investigator for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Project supported by National Cancer Institute, Washington and Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia Project supported by Department of Science and Technology.
Recently I have embarked upon the project of writing syllabus along with teaching manual for DM Medical Oncology Course in association with Indian Medical and Paediatric Oncology Association.”
