My interest in cancer research is in the field of chemoresistance- why patients have recurrence and the genetics of this to understand the biology of cancer. To this I am associated with Birla Institute of Science and Technology ( BITS) Pilani, Rajasthan and we are jointly working on projects which will ultimately benefits patients with these disease and lead to better survival and cure. Its essential to have good "Quality of life after treatment" and to reach this goal we have initiated Research on "Interventions in Cancer fatigue" ensuring Illness to Wellness to all my patients. Initiated Project “WEâ€- Women Empowerment- to Educate & Motivate. There is a growing need for women empowerment and through this project which I have started we hope to reach out to many looking for a brighter future. Inspite of advances in treatment offering better survival, people tend to delay treatment due to social stigma. To have a better reach to the community and help erase the fear lf social stigma, I have made a short film " The Edge- from Darkness to Light" which was launched at International Film Festival of Kerala, 2021 and received an Award of Appreciation
