He has over 100 publications in peer reviewed journals and am the first author of most of them and has presented in numerous regional, national and international conferences. His peers call me “the Pathologist who likes the bit on the slide” because of my passion and enthusiasm for pathology. He is equally enthusiastic about medical education and consider teaching a duty. He has set up pathology curricula at several problem-based medical courses and taught pathology in conventional and problem-based medical systems. He believes Medicine evolved from Pathology almost 2500 years ago and considers Pathology as the Mother and the Backbone of Medicine and that is why he want everyone to see “Medicine through the glass slide”. He has a huge personal collection of pathology images and is happy to share my knowledge and resources with anyone who is willing to explore the wonderful world of medicine through pathology.
