Dr Basu is keen on Research and Education. Whilst he regularly reviews and publishes for scientific journals and conferences, he also presents and lectures at scientific meetings, both regionally, nationally and internationally.

Outside of medicine, Subhasis leads an active life with his family with a love for international travel and immersing himself in different cultures. He has a passion for sports especially in tennis, football and cricket. Any free time is rapidly taken up through his voluntary role as a tennis umpire allowing him to officiate at tennis tournaments around the world; in 2017 he successfully officiated for his 11th consecutive year at the Wimbledon Championships, AELTC.
