Ongoing Research & Clinical Interests

• Stroke epidemiology and burden in India
• Epilepsy prevalence and management in India
• Neurological disorders — population-based studies
• Neurocysticercosis in East India

A patient presenting with acute haemorrhagic stroke with rapid neurological deterioration was managed with a combination of neurocritical care intervention and aggressive blood pressure management under Dr. Banerjee's supervision, achieving functional recovery with minimal residual deficit.

A patient with neurocysticercosis presenting as drug-resistant epilepsy was accurately diagnosed and successfully treated with antiparasitic therapy combined with optimised antiepileptic management, achieving seizure freedom.

• Academic Authority: Patients and clinicians recognise Dr. Banerjee as one of India's foremost neurological researchers — bringing internationally published expertise to every clinical consultation.
• Clinical Depth: Reviewers describe his consultations as thorough, evidence-grounded, and informed by a research career spanning three and a half decades.
• National Icon: Widely regarded as a pioneer of stroke epidemiology in India — patients travel from across the country to consult him for complex neurological conditions.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Banerjee combines the clinical acumen of a 35-year neurologist with the evidence appraisal skills of a prolific researcher. He ensures each patient receives a rigorously evidence-based management plan, with clear communication and long-term follow-up. His published research on stroke epidemiology directly shapes his clinical approach to stroke prevention.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Banerjee employs advanced EEG and EMG, stroke thrombolysis protocols, IVIG, and comprehensive neurological investigation tools. His population-based stroke research at Bangur Institute of Neurosciences — one of India's largest public neurology centres — provides unique clinical insight into neurological disease burden and management in India.
