Introduction

Sujeet Rajan is a practising respiratory physician in Mumbai, India. He thoroughly enjoys his clinical practice and teaching, having lectured on patient communication, education and adherence, in addition to topics that interest him a lot which include airway disease, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, sleep-disordered breathing, advanced lung disease and tuberculosis. Needless to say, the little research he has done has focussed around these areas, especially asthma, use of non-CFC inhalers, COPD clinical trials, most recently with mometasone and formoterol, and more recently a study underway on indacaterol with glycopyrollate, and an observational study on his experience with pirfenidone in IPF and fibrotic NSIP. He is also conducting research on asthma practice methods in primary care, and has a special passion for improving asthma care in the primary care setting.
