    Overview

  • Dr. Ankur is among the first few DM super specialists in Pediatric Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology in India. He completed his MBBS from SMS Medical College, Jaipur, MD in Paediatrics from Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, and DM in Pediatric Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology from PGI Chandigarh.

  • With over 6 years of experience as a Senior Consultant in the Allergy Immunology Unit at PGI Chandigarh, he has emerged as a leading authority in diagnosing and managing complex conditions like urticaria and angioedema, not just in India but across Asia Pacific countries. He has published over 215 research papers and has been instrumental in developing international collaborations in his field.

  • He has conducted several awareness programs for physicians in India and neighbouring countries and was the director of the Angioedema Centre of Reference and Excellence at PGI Chandigarh — one of only two such centres in India. He has also contributed significantly to the recognition of the Allergy Immunology Unit at PGI by multiple global organizations, including WHO and Asia Pacific medical societies.

  • Dr. Ankur has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Young PID Investigator Award (IPOPI), the National Award for Excellence in Academic Clinical Research, the GP Talwar Young Scientist Award, and several orations by national medical associations. He also holds important positions in national and international bodies, including being a Steering Committee Member for the global Angioedema Centre of Reference and Excellence (ACARE).

  • Dr. Ankur’s goal is to provide holistic care for patients with allergic, immunological, and pediatric rheumatological disorders — with a vision to establish a Centre of Excellence in Immunology, Rheumatology, and Allergy at Manipal Hospital, Millers Road.
