About

Dr. Rashmi Nair is a rising voice at the intersection of gynecologic oncology and environmental sustainability. Her research critically examines the carbon footprint of cancer care, particularly within surgical and anesthetic practices in gynecologic oncology. Her most-cited work, "Environmental sustainability in gynecologic oncology" (2024), highlights how healthcare—especially resource-intensive surgical procedures—contributes significantly to U.S. carbon emissions. By identifying actionable strategies to reduce waste and energy use without compromising patient outcomes, Dr. Nair is pioneering a framework for "green oncology." Though her citation count is still growing, her work is already influencing conversations around climate-conscious surgical protocols. Her contributions are especially notable for bridging two traditionally separate fields: oncology and environmental science. As a researcher committed to systemic change, Dr. Nair is helping to shape a future where high-quality cancer care and planetary health are not mutually exclusive.
