Bio / Career Interests
I am a Professor of Pathology with specialized expertise in hematopathology, particularly in the diagnosis and translational research of lymphomas, bone marrow pathology, and molecular hematopathology. Trained at AIIMS, New Delhi, and currently serving at Christian Medical College, Vellore, I am deeply committed to diagnostic excellence, postgraduate education, and clinically relevant research.
My academic focus includes the integration of morphology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and molecular profiling in the evaluation of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. I have mentored multiple postgraduate research theses addressing key diagnostic challenges, including:
- TILs in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (morphologic and IHC-based assessment pre- and post-chemotherapy)
- TARC IHC in Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma and Mimics
- HGAL and LMO2 as Germinal Center Markers in Low-Grade B-cell NHL
- Papillary Neoplasms of the Breast: Histopathological and IHC Evaluation
- Adrenal Pheochromocytoma Scoring Systems with Validation of M-GAPP
These projects reflect my broader interests in tumor microenvironment, immune profiling, and diagnostic standardization in both hematolymphoid and non-hematopoietic malignancies. I am also an active contributor to interdepartmental CPCs, national/international conferences, and serve as examiner for postgraduate and superspecialty courses.
