Dr Arvinder Soin

Dr. Arvinder Soin, a Padma Shri awardee and a world-renowned liver transplant surgeon, has spent over three decades transforming liver care in India and beyond. A pioneer in the field, he performed India’s first ever successful liver transplant in 1998. He has now performed India’s highest number - nearly 5000 liver transplants. Launching liver transplant programs at 23 centers, authoring over 270 research publications, delivering 1,400+ invited lectures worldwide, and receiving numerous national and international honors — all stand as a testament to his clinical leadership and contributions to transplant science. Having treated critically ill patients all his life, Dr. Soin is now determined to work at the other end of the spectrum, and prevent people from reaching that stage of illness. Longevity medicine and healthspan optimization is his new passion. He is applying the same rigor and precision that has defined his transplant work to reimagining healthspan.   He has seen how silent processes like metabolic dysfunction and chronic inflammation, fuelled by poor lifestyle choices lead to decline at the body and cellular levels, which is essentially what aging is. He is convinced that the future of medicine lies in early prediction and detection, prevention, and personalized medicine. He believes that proactive health care at separate dedicated centers must be at the front and center of all healthcare rather than just reactive, sick care at hospitals.   Here, in addition to his views on liver health and disease, he will share scientific perspectives on how medical advances, AI and health tech can be used in clinical assessment, advanced diagnostics and anti-aging interventions to curate personalized health optimization protocols.
