Dr. Anantha Prasad Holla P started his academic journey from Mysore Medical College by pursuing MBBS and he continued to accomplish his post graduation (MD) from the most reputed dermatology department of Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh (PGIMER).During his post graduation training he was more focused in vitiligo treatment and research rather than in general dermatology. He had immense interest in dermatosurgery that is the main reason to opt for dermatology post graduation. Incidentally that interest gave him lot of exposure to vitiligo surgery from the initial days training. He had the vision of becoming eminent vitiligo surgeon since the days of his dermatology residence.  

This paramount interest in vitiligo treatment and research in general and cellular transplantation in vitiligo in particular was the foremost reason to become one of the most successful vitiligo specialist especially in non-cultured epidermal cell suspension transplantation (NEST).

A decade of dedicated and exclusive vitiligo treatment expertise made him internationally acclaimed vitiligo surgeon and pioneer in cell transplantation.
