Welcome to the Kandil Lab

in the Division of General, Endocrine, and Oncological Surgery at Tulane

We investigate endocrine tumor genetics and clinical outcomes for thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal diseases with minimally-invasive procedures.

Our bench-to-bedside approach has made Dr. Emad Kandil the first physician in the USA to perform 1,000+ cases of thyroid RFAs.
