Sanooj Soni

Dr. Sanooj Soni serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Surgery & Cancer within the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London. Clinically, he practices in the Intensive Care Medicine and Anaesthesia departments at Imperial College NHS Trust's Hammersmith Hospital.

His research centers on microvesicle-mediated propagation of lung injury in critically ill patients, with groundbreaking work on TNF trafficking mechanisms in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Current investigations explore microvesicles in COVID-19-induced ARDS, multi-organ failure, Primary Graft Dysfunction post-lung transplantation, and COPD severity correlations, revealing unconventional cytokine release pathways via acid sphingomyelinase.

Dr. Soni's contributions have earned international recognition:

• European Respiratory Society Young Investigator Abstract Grant in Lung Transplantation (2020)
• British Association of Lung Research Early Career Investigator Award (2019)
• American Thoracic Society International Trainee Scholarship Award (2014)
• American Thoracic Society International Trainee Scholarship Award (2018)
• Original Research prize at NIHR Clinical Research event (2018)
• Royal Society of Medicine: Anaesthesia Section Prize (2018)

His work is funded by the Academy of Medical Sciences and Chelsea and Westminster Health Charity, with collaborative projects supported by a European Respiratory Society Research Training Fellowship at Charite University, Berlin. His PhD was jointly funded by the Medical Research Council and British Journal of Anaesthesia Clinical Research Training Fellowship.
