Today, Dr. Anil Potti is associated with several reputable organizations such as American Association of Cancer Research, American Society of Clinical Oncology and Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society. He has worked as a staff physician in the Multidisciplinary Thoracic Oncology Clinic at Duke University, Durham. While working at Duke, he had contributed to the development of several programs in cancer, including Characterizing the Clinical Relevance of an Embryonic Stem Cell Phenotype in Lung Adenocarcinoma. As per Anil Potti MD, lung cancer can be defined as an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both of lungs. Normal lung tissue cells develop and reproduce into healthy tissues, but abnormal cells never grow into the normal lung tissues. As a result of this, lumps of cancer cells are formed, which then disrupts the proper functioning of lungs.
Aside from being a renowned oncologist, he is also a philanthropist, and believes in working for the benefit of disadvantaged and poor through his volunteer efforts.
