Dr. Tina Dadu — Associate Director & Head in Delhi NCR

Dr. Tina Dadu is Associate Director and Head of Haematology and Molecular Biology in Laboratory Services at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in Delhi NCR, with more than 15 years of experience.

Her role is a laboratory one, and the conditions on her profile are the ones a haematology and molecular biology service exists to identify. Acute leukemia heads the list, followed by myelodysplastic syndromes and bone marrow failure syndromes, then the bleeding and clotting disorders in hemophilia management, Von Willebrand disease management and chronic thrombocytopenia, then sickle cell disease and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. A final entry, living with blood disorders, covers the long-term management of conditions that are controlled rather than cured.

Every one of those diagnoses depends on laboratory work before treatment begins, and that is the connection between the clinical list and the role. Her title names molecular biology specifically, and several conditions on the list are defined by testing rather than by examination at the bedside.

Her qualifications are MBBS, DNB and MNAMS.

Her career shows a steady progression through four hospitals. She was a junior consultant at Dr. B.L. Kapur Memorial Hospital and at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, both in New Delhi, then an associate consultant at P.D. Hinduja Hospital and Medical Research Centre, before taking her present post heading laboratory haematology and molecular biology at BLK-Max.
