Professional Bio

Dr. Amit Verma completed his MD (Biochemistry) from AIIMS in 2004. He is a well-known molecular oncologist and cancer geneticist of the country. With more than 19 years of experience in cancer treatment and research, he has successfully treated patients suffering from incurable and end stage cancers by identifying the genes that are responsible for the development of cancer. As opposed to the traditional ‘one size fits all’ approach, Dr. Amit Verma aims to offer personalized treatment to the individual patient with an amalgamation of diverse techniques ranging from cancer genomics, computational biology and tumor imaging. Relying on the scientific advancements in molecular biology and genetics of cells he uses novel approaches such as Next-generation sequencing (NGS), Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB), Microsatellite Instability (MSI) screening etc. for an improved management of the disease. The only thing as relentless as cancer is his commitment and dedication to fight it through various translational and targeted approaches.
