Physician-scientist specializing in pulmonary and toxicologic pathology with strong translational research experience.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a physician-scientist with an MBBS and a PhD in Integrative Pathobiology who blends clinical pathology observership experience with rigorous preclinical inhalation and toxicologic research. I have authored multiple peer-reviewed articles and a book chapter, collaborated with leading institutions, and contributed to translational projects linking animal toxicology and human health.
Clinically, I completed pathology observerships at major US centers, reviewed hundreds of cases, and participated in multidisciplinary tumor boards. I bring hands-on lab expertise in histology, IHC/IF, microscopy, qPCR and data analysis tools, plus prior in-house medical practice and team leadership in acute care and emergency settings.
