<p>I am a Public Health physician from Nepal with research interests in tropical &amp; infectious diseases, particularly vaccine-preventable diseases, and One health&nbsp;topics. I received a medical degree from BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Nepal in 2012 and postgraduate training in medical research. I am currently enrolled&nbsp;in an MSc course (Tropical Medicine &amp; International Health) at the&nbsp;London School of Hygiene &amp; Tropical Medicine, University of London, UK.</p><p>Before moving to London, I worked as clinical research fellow at Patan Hospital, Kathmandu getting involved in vaccine-related studies (pneumococcal infections, invasive bacterial diseases) sponsored by the Oxford University’s Oxford Vaccine Group. Additionally, I worked as a primary care physician at resource-limited hospitals in Nepal where I encountered a wide range of patients with infectious&nbsp;diseases that included zoonotic diseases common in that region. I utilize my out-of-work time to review scientific articles, recently more active with IHME's Global Burden of Diseases and ESPID/PIDJ.</p><p>Besides clinical medicine and research, I am involved in global health through a number of international networks such as Global Young Academy, a voice of young scientists worldwide, where I represent Global Health Working Group and Communication Committee. I have served as a steering committee member for the projects- 'Strengthening clinical research capacity in LMICs' organized by the Academy of Medical Sciences (UK), and ‘Health in All Policies’&nbsp;led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, representing Nepal Academy of Science &amp; Technology.</p><p>As an early-career research enthusiast and emerging global health leader, I have represented Nepal in high-level meetings such as World Health Summit, World Science Forum, and BioVision: Life Sciences forum through One Health One Place. I am a member of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine &amp; Hygiene, ESPID, and Vaccine Networks (VALIDATE,&nbsp;BactiVac, IMPRINT). I am also a recipient of the Young Physician Leaders Award 2016, awarded annually for early-career physicians by the Inter Academy Medical Panel during World Health Summit.</p><p>I look forward to networking and collaborating with as many researchers and global health/One health leaders, aiming for the potential path to lead&nbsp;research activities from my country or region.</p>
