Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am an MD in pathology and my work really moves across multiple areas—clinical pathology, hematology, biochemistry, immunology, histopathology and cytopathology. Each branch kinda brings its own challenges. Like in hematology you’re not just looking at numbers, you’re reading smears, checking morphology, trying to catch those subtle shifts that hint at leukemia or anemia patterns. In histo and cyto it’s more about tissue architecture, slide prep, stains—and sometimes one odd looking cell changes the whole diagnosis.
Biochemistry and immunology also keep me busy, running tests that link straight to metabolic disorders, autoimmune cases, infections, monitoring therapy response. Clinical pathology ties everything together cause you need to connect results with actual patient context, not just issue raw data. That’s where communication with clinicians matter, and I try to make sure reports are precise, clear, and not overloaded with jargon.
Pathology is often silent work, but it decides treatment directions. That’s the part I take seriously, knowing accuracy here means safer choices for patients. |
Achievements: | I am someone who tried to keep research and academic work alongside clinical pathology practice. I published 2 papers till now—first in Journal of Applied Hematology on the role of nCD64 in ICU patients with sepsis, and the other in Walwalkar journal on immunohistochemistry in hyperplastic endometrial disorders and endometrial carcinoma, a cross-sectional observational study. I also got chance to present a poster on plasma cell leukemia at MAPCON 2021 and later a paper on nCD64 as a marker in ICU sepsis at APCON 2023. Along the way I attended workshops with IFA and Shimadzu group too, which gave me more practical exposure with lab tech and methodology. |
I am a pathologist with about 2 yrs of solid workexperience in the field, and for me pathology isn’t just about reporting—it’s the backbone of diagnosis. I started off working as a registrar at Cooper hospital and Rajawadi hospital, and that phase gave me a lot of practical exposure to both routine and emergency samples. Government setups teach you fast how to manage volume and stay precise at the same time. Later I worked as a consultant at Oncquest Pathology Labs in Andheri West. That role really deepened my understanding of oncology related diagnostics—biopsies, cytology, tumor markers, all the details that go into guiding oncologists for treatment planning. Each case felt like piecing together a puzzle where accuracy mattered way more than speed. Currently I am with Aspira Diagnostics in Ghatkopar West for more than a year now. Here I focus on clinical pathology, hematology, histopathology, and biochemistry testing, while coordinating with clinicians to ensure results are clear and actionable. It’s not just signing out reports—it’s about maintaining quality, following proper protocols, and sometimes double-checking when something doesn’t look right. I’d say what drives me is making sure no patient loses out because of careless interpretation. Small mistakes in pathology can change entire treatment courses, so I try to stay very cautious—even if it means re-checking slides late at night. I also enjoy working with teams, discussing difficult cases, and mentoring juniors when the chance comes up. Pathology may not always be in front of patients, but the decisions we make in the lab silently shape their care. That’s the part of medicine where I feel I contribute the most.
