He is having more than 35 years of experience in the field of paediatric haematology, oncology and bone marrow transplantation.
He has completed his MBBS, DCH, FRCPCH, FRCP (London & Edinburgh) and CCT (UK), and underwent specialist training in Paediatric Oncology at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle, UK, in Stem Cell Transplantation at Newcastle General Hospital, UK, and in Paediatric Oncology at the Royal Marsden Hospital, London, UK.
Profile Highlights :
- Dr. Sen trained in paediatric haematology and oncology in the United Kingdom for 12 years before returning to India to build a comparable service at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, where he leads the paediatric stem cell transplant programme. He has around 18 years of experience performing bone marrow transplants and runs the hospital's Paediatric Oncology Clinic and Thalassaemia Clinic.
- His transplant practice covers paediatric allogeneic, autologous and haploidentical (half-matched) transplants for thalassaemia, sickle cell disease, aplastic anaemia, relapsed leukaemias and lymphomas, and resistant tumours such as relapsed Ewing's tumour and neuroblastoma. He is recognised for his extensive experience with haploidentical transplants, which allow a parent or sibling who is only a half match to act as donor when a fully matched donor is not available.
- Beyond transplantation, he consults on benign blood disorders including thalassaemia, sickle cell disease, haemophilia, ITP and anaemia, as well as childhood malignancies such as leukaemia, lymphoma and tumours of the brain, bone, kidney and soft tissue. He also has particular expertise in rare conditions such as haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH).
- Dr. Sen is an internationally accredited FACT/JACIE bone marrow transplant unit inspector and an examiner for the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, UK, and the College of Physicians & Surgeons, Mumbai. He was named Top Doc Mumbai in 2019 and 2020, received the Indian Icon Award in 2015, and was appointed to the Expert Committee of Coal India's Thalassemia Bal Sewa Yojna. He has published widely, with work on haploidentical transplants in children and young adults and on graft outcomes in thalassaemia.

Guided by the belief that childhood cancer is curable and that every transplant patient deserves a chance of cure, he consults in English, Hindi and Bengali.
