She developed a special interest in endocrinology, working at the adolescent part of Great Ormond Street Hospital, at UCLH. As part of the endocrinology interest, she worked with growth and puberty difficulties and with diabetes for a while. Subsequently this led to an interest in obesity and eating disorders. She worked with the eating disorders team at Oxford health as a paediatrician for a few years, before joining Warwick hospital as a community paediatrician, as she realized that a lot of feeding difficulties were a result of undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder. She has worked with children with autism for the last few years, dealing with associated medical problems like gut issues, sleep and restrictive eating etc.
Dr. Mohan continues to work as a general paediatrician at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust (Paediatrics)- the Horton Hospital.
