Working with renowned experts at MD Anderson Cancer Center gave him an additional opportunity to conduct research and at the same time helped him gain insight into several newer protocols useful in the management of lymphoblastic and myeloid leukaemias.

His speciality includes managing several bleeding disorders like haemophilia (factor deficiencies), von Willebrand disease, thrombophilia (inherent ability to excessively clot), refractory anaemias, thrombocytopenia, aplastic anaemias, myelodysplasia and myeloproliferative disorders like polycythemia, thrombocytosis and myelofibrosis. He treats blood malignancies like leukaemias, multiple myelomas and lymphomas. In addition, his passion lies in conducting autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplants in several diseases like thalassemia, aplastic anaemias, multiple myelomas, immunodeficiency disorders and several leukaemias/lymphomas.
