Biography: I am a clinician-scientist with research interests in infectious & tropical diseases, maternal-newborn-child health, and health systems in general. At present, I am leading a newly incorporated non-profit research institute called GLOHMED (www.glohmed.org) which promotes and implements global health and clinical research in Nepal and elsewhere. Three of my current research projects are directly related to VALIDATE pathogens: i) sero-epidemiology of B. pseudomallei (melioidosis) in Nepal; ii) clinical epidemiology of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Nepal; iii) scoping review of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by global scientists. Through the platform provided by the VALIDATE network, I wish to collaborate with leading scientists worldwide for impactful research projects and contribute to local capacity strengthening. I was trained as a medical doctor in Nepal. I obtained master’s degree in Tropical Medicine & International Health and a Diploma in clinical tropical medicine from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), UK. I have served as a member of several professional societies and scientific committees.
