Profile

Research Experience

My previous research experience includes working on a multisite study evaluating the emergence potential of zoonotic diseases using the One Health approach. I contributed to developing and implementinga multi-country study (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Belgium, Ghana, Ethiopia, and South Africa) to identify research priorities for the prevention and control of zoonotic and emerging infections. I was part of a team which developed a tool for the situation analysis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance in LMICs for SEARO-WHO, and undertook a scoping review of the AMR landscape in India for WHOIndia.My current research includes studying the drivers, determinants, and interventions for the prevention/control of AMR by leveraging the One Health approach; role of vaccines in reducing the burden of infections and AMR organisms; synthesis of existing evidence for formulation of evidence-based policies; and the epidemiology, prevention and control of infectious diseases, with a special focus on enteric infections.

Research Interests

My research interests include the epidemiology, prevention, and control of infectious diseases, especially enteric infections.I am also interested in studying the drivers and determinants behind the emergence of AMR, and identifying interventions/strategies for its control by leveraging the One Health approach. I am invested in using innovative and systematic approaches for evidence synthesis to aid evidence-based policymaking.I am intrigued by the role played by vaccination strategies, improvement of WaSH facilities, investments in sustainable development,attempting behavioural modification,andmitigating healthcare, socioculturaland economic inequity in the emergence, persistence andexacerbations of infectious diseases and AMR.
