Research

Peer-reviewed work, from the operating theatre to the algorithm.

9 peer-reviewed papers across two decades and three fields — clinical neurosurgery at AIIMS, neuroregeneration at Drexel, and, most recently, artificial intelligence in clinical care. The same question runs through all of them: what does it take to carry a method from the bench to the bedside?

AI in clinical care2026

The thread that began at the bench, returning as a clinical tool.
