Professor Singh’s interest include endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of early cancer in the entire gastro intestinal tract including diagnosing diseases in the oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, biliary tree and colon using various novel Advanced Mucosal Imaging (including AI) tools. Early diagnosis leads to removal of these lesions/polyps using different minimally invasive interventional strategies which Professor Singh performs.
