I am working as an Professor in Epidemiology at Centre for Cancer Epidemiology, Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, India since 26, October 2010. I have completed my Ph.D. in epidemiology from the University of Tampere, Finland. My areas of interest are cancer registration and screening programme.

I am the co- investigator and key person of IARC/WHO cancer registration Hub at Mumbai. I am involved in teaching epidemiology and cancer regsitration to the doctorate students.

I was involved in running the cervical cancer control trial in rural area of Osamanabad district where more than 75,000 women were screened for cervical cancer.

I am the co-principal investigator of oral cancer screening trial going in Ratanagiri district. Under oral cancer screening programme more than 50,000 high risk people were screened.

I have played key role in the establishment of population based cancer registries at Chandigarh, Mohali, Sangrur, Mansa, Varanasi and Gadchiroli. I am the principal investigator of a research project “Menstrual pad a cervical cancer screening tool”.

I am the principle Investigator of the service project “Tobacco Quit Line Centre at TMC, Mumbai”. I am also the principal investigator of the project “Early detection of oral, breast and cervical cancer in Sangrur district of Punjab state.

Under IARC regional Hub for Cancer Registration Programme I have trained several students from Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Timor-Leste in cancer registry operation.
