India’s medical fraternity has achieved yet another proud milestone—ten Indian pulmonologists have been recognized in Stanford University’s 2025 global list of the world’s top 2% of scientists.

This prestigious recognition highlights not just individual excellence but also India’s growing contribution to global respiratory medicine, research, and innovation.

🩺 A Moment of Pride for Indian Medicine

Pulmonology—the branch of medicine that deals with respiratory health—has gained tremendous importance in recent years, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The inclusion of Indian pulmonologists in Stanford’s list is a reminder of how our researchers are shaping the global medical landscape.

The selection is based on scientific impact, measured through parameters like citations, h-index, publication quality, and composite research score (c-score).

🌟 Notable Pulmonologists in the Top 2%

Let’s celebrate these exceptional clinicians and scientists whose work continues to improve millions of lives:

• Dr. Sundeep Salvi—ranked among the top 0.08% of respiratory scientists globally. His groundbreaking research on air pollution and respiratory health has shaped both policy and practice.
• Dr. Ritesh Agarwal—With over 700 publications, he is globally respected for his studies on allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and lung infections.
• Dr. Ashutosh Nath Aggarwal—an authority on pulmonary function testing and sleep medicine, with over 175 scientific papers.
• Dr. Anurag Agrawal—Known for his leadership in lung disease research and biomedical policy, bridging medicine with public health innovation.
