Alongside his clinical work, Dr Soni leads a translational research programme at Imperial College London investigating the mechanisms underlying acute organ dysfunction. A major focus of his research is the role of extracellular vesicles in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with a broader interest in how cellular signalling contributes to systemic inflammation and multi-organ failure. His research has attracted significant funding from the National Institute of Academic Anaesthesia (NIAA), the Medical Research Council (MRC), and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), and has been recognised with multiple national and international awards.
​
Dr Soni is deeply engaged in medical education and academic mentorship. He supervises undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students and contributes to the design and delivery of clinical and research training programmes at Imperial College London. His work exemplifies the integration of innovative science with high-quality, patient-centred care.
