The researcher is a clinician–scientist with advanced training in pediatrics, public health nutrition, Infectious disease epidemiology and vaccines and tropical medicine, Infectious disease epidemiology and vaccines combined with doctoral research in global health conducted through international academic collaboration. Her work integrates strong clinical insight with epidemiological expertise, particularly in the study of typhoid fever across diverse global and regional contexts. A central focus of her research is evidence synthesis to inform vaccine policy and implementation, with particular emphasis on the typhoid conjugate vaccine in India. She has contributed to research applying the World Health Organization evidence-to-recommendation framework to assess the relevance, feasibility, and perceived importance of evidence for vaccine introduction, demonstrating an ability to translate global guidance into locally applicable strategies. Drawing from extensive experience in clinical practice, public health, and global research, her work reflects a comprehensive understanding of vaccines from scientific, programmatic, societal, and end-user perspectives. Her research in infectious disease epidemiology supports data-driven decision making for immunization programs and strengthens links between policy, practice, and population health impact. Through applied epidemiology and implementation-focused research, she contributes to improving vaccine uptake, strengthening health systems, and advancing evidence-based interventions for infectious disease control in real-world settings.
