Dr Asthana is a trained hepatobiliary and transplant surgeon with work experience in leading centers in North America, UK and India . He has completed an American Society of transplant surgeons -accredited fellowship at the University of Alberta hospital, Edmonton Canada.

 

The management of a transplant team requires a strong multidisciplinary approach to patient care, which is fairly different from the traditional hierarchical method still common in most surgical practice. Managing teams of highly skilled individuals working towards common goals will be a key skill for managers in modern medicine. 

 

Dr Asthana has authored more than 35 peer-reviewed papers, and has won international awards for basic and clinical research. His research has been supported by competitive grant funding from government and industry.
