Dr. Lakhanpal is a rheumatologist at HSS focusing on the care of inflammatory arthritis and basic science research to discern mechanisms driving autoimmune disease in individual patients by leveraging detailed molecular data. His education includes undergraduate study at Harvard College, medical school at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and graduate school at the California Institute of Technology (under the auspices of the UCLA Medical Scientist Training Program). He completed his internal medicine residency at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and his rheumatology fellowship at Hospital for Special Surgery (via the Medical Research Track of the Weill Cornell Department of Medicine).

Modern methods have enabled the acquisition of high-detail, high-volume data characterizing the human immune response. Focusing those methods on samples from patients with autoimmune disease in the most high-yield manner, and developing computational approaches that efficiently leverage the volume of data, is the basis of my research program.
