I am a passionate teacher and researcher with a keen interest in management of oral potentially malignant disorders and novel drug delivery methods. I have secured a grant from ICMR for management of erosive oral lichen planus and am currently pursuing my doctoral research in the same field. I am actively involved in publishing national and international journal papers and also have a design patent to my credit. I am keen to connect research to bedside practices to bring about a difference in the quality of life of my patients. As a teacher I would like to focus on teaching core concepts and build competencies promoting holistic development of the student.
