I’m an MBBS-educated Project Research Scientist I and Pulmonary Research Coordinator with hands-on experience coordinating large multicenter pulmonary research studies. I focus on keeping every protocol step moving—participant follow-up, site timelines, and strict adherence to study procedures—while working closely with PIs, co-investigators, and hospital stakeholders.

At All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), I coordinate multicenter pulmonary clinical research across 6 active study sites, ensuring protocol compliance and data integrity. I run pulmonary function tests (spirometry) and collect exhaled breath condensate (EBC) using R-Tube, while also supporting pulmonary OPD with patient history taking, clinical examination, auscultation, and treatment planning.

I manage clinical data in REDCap with abstraction from electronic and paper medical records and perform quality assurance checks. I also handle biological samples end-to-end—venipuncture, labeling, storage, and coordination of shipment—while preparing annual research reports, tracking site-level budget expenditure, and coordinating procurement and financial compliance.

Earlier, at NIRT-ICMR (ICMR), I led field implementation of the District level sentinel survey (DLSS) under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) across 12 project sites. I supervised a 22-member field team, coordinated with State TB Offices and District TB Officers for regulatory approvals, conducted data quality checks for 6,000+ participant records, and reviewed chest X-rays for eligibility—then supported clean datasets for statistical analysis.
