Associate Professsor
Department of Medical Oncology, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, India, India
After my basic medical education (MBBS) at Government Medical College, Calicut; I completed MD in General Medicine from Jawaharlal Institute of Post-graduate Medical Education and Research , Puduchery. My oncology training was completed in 2018 from Cancer Institute (WIA), Adyar, Chennai. I worked as an Assistant Professor at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai and then joined KMC Manipal, where I am currently working as an Associate Professor.
I have received several acedemic awards and medals during my undergraduate and postgraduate life. But, my active interest in research was sparked during MD course and became a passion during my DM medical oncology course. I have been blessed with inspirational mentors who have motivated me to continue my research interests.
My areas of interest are cancer epidemiology, resource-adapted oncology practises, geriatric and AYA oncology. I am also interested in medical education and communication.
I am constantly trying to improve the balance between my different roles , both as a clinician in a busy tertiary care center and as an academic reseacher, also as a mother of an active pre-schooler.
