Biography
I completed my medical education at GMC Kolhapur in India, followed by a residency in Pathology at Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai. I then pursued a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Translational Molecular Pathology at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. I completed my AP/CP Pathology residency at Yale New Haven Hospital, followed by fellowships in Endocrine and Head & Neck Pathology and in Hematopathology, also at Yale. My areas of interest include Endocrine and Head & Neck Pathology as well as Hematopathology, with a particular focus on thyroid and salivary gland tumors, sinonasal tumors, and low-grade lymphoid neoplasms in the head and neck region.
