Dr. Krishan is board certified in radiation oncology. His primary clinical interests include radiation oncology and molecular medicine, and he specializes in gastrointestinal cancers, particularly hepatobiliary, pancreatic and rectal tumors.

His clinical research has helped to define the role of radiation therapy in the management of gastrointestinal cancers and to identify predictors of response to treatment. His laboratory research focuses on devising new strategies to sensitize tumors to radiation therapy and protect normal tissues from radiation injury using nanoparticles, chemotherapeutics, biologics and botanicals. 

Dr. Krishnan is a fellow of the American College of Physicians, the American Society for Radiation Oncology and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineers. He also is a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the American Society for Radiation Oncology.

A professor at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, Dr. Krishnan previously served as a gastrointestinal radiation oncology faculty member at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center for more than 15 years and director of the Center for Radiation Oncology Research.
