Research, publications and awards
 
Dr Sehgal led a team recently that introduced a non-invasive oesophageal tissue-sampling device. This was used to monitor patients with pre-malignant oesophagus conditions, instead of endoscopy, which was otherwise postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. University College Hospital London (UCLH) was the first centre in the world that adopted this technology alongside other centres, following its lead and ultimately assisting to improve care offered to patients.
 
He has a keen interest in endoscopy training and is a member of the British Society of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Training Committee’s faculty, for the Royal College of Physicians. Dr Sehgal is also actively involved in several live endoscopy and hands-on training courses at UCLH.
 
Furthermore, he supervises a research team that collects important information about endoscopic techniques and procedures that he undertakes in order to ultimately improve and streamline patient care. Dr Sehgal’s work is focused on existing and novel endoscopy imaging technologies that help to detect and treat early cancer of the gastrointestinal tract. This includes the use of artificial intelligence. His other interests include the development of minimally-invasive endoscopic techniques in order to treat upper gastrointestinal tract cancers, and he is actively involved in several national and international clinical studies in the field.
