Dr. Lokeswara Rao Sajja, senior consultant cardiothoracic surgeon at Star Hospitals and chairman of the Sajja Heart Foundation, has been inducted as an associate member of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honour Society, one of the world’s oldest and most esteemed institutions committed to advancing science and research.

Sigma Xi, established in 1886, has counted over 200 Nobel Laureates among its past and present members, including iconic figures such as Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Barbara McClintock, Francis Crick, and Jennifer Doudna.

Dr. Sajja’s membership comes in recognition of his contributions to cardiovascular surgery. He is best known for leading India’s first multicentre randomised trial in cardiac surgery, the PROMOTE Patency Trial, and for developing an innovative mechanical heart valve that eliminates the need for long-term anti-coagulation. The device is currently protected under both U.S. and Indian patents.
