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.

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.
