About Me

I am a public health researcher with an MPH and a Ph.D. (Environmental Health). The exposome, common complex diseases, global population health, urban and local exposures are the focus of my research. I am curious about the effects of Global Environmental Changes (GEC) on the health of populations, especially in India. My research is focused on population exposures and health. India is the most diverse of any country and we simultaneously share many common exposures. We are a rapidly emerging economy with potential for the largest urbanization in the next decade. As India transitions, I am keen to understand the effects of the environment on health, common complex diseases, population and global health, and global, urban and local exposures.

Each patient is different and as a homoeopathic physician I understand and assess these individual differences. One size does not fit all! I abide by basic sciences in my homoeopathic practice. I endorse vaccination and do not challenge the science or seek to replace it with homoeopathy. I respect patients’ choices and other systems of medicine but strongly condemn self-medication and online searches of treatments.
My webpage will have information for both, those who want to follow my research and seek advise on individual therapy. Stay tuned.
