Dr. Ajay Gupta — Senior Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Ajay Gupta is a Senior Consultant at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi NCR, with more than 17 years of experience. His profile carries three specializations: hematology, pediatric hematology and medical oncology.

Transplant work leads the clinical list, with bone marrow transplant, autologous stem cell transplant and haploidentical bone marrow transplant. The conditions treated are acute and chronic leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes under the heading of blood cancer treatment, together with thalassemia.

His degrees were taken in Delhi. He read MBBS at Maulana Azad Medical College under the University of Delhi, then took both his MD in medicine and his DM in medical oncology at AIIMS. Two overseas fellowships followed: pediatric bone marrow transplant at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, and leukemia and bone marrow transplantation at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He also holds FRACP from the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.

Those fellowship destinations account for the three specializations on his profile, and his awards follow the same path. At AIIMS he took the Gita Mittal Gold Medal and Book Prize for the best clinical research in oncology and as the best postgraduate in oncology research. The ASCO Foundation gave him the Brigid Leventhal Award in pediatric oncology, conferred in Chicago by its board of directors and scientific program committee. The Royal Australasian College of Physicians recognised him with the Wiley Blackwell Publishing Award for Clinical Excellence, for the Best of Grand Rounds at its Future Directions in Health Congress.
