I have had the privilege to begin my career under the guidance of Dr CHD Fall as her research assistant for the MRC Indian office. I attained training at MRC EE Unit in Southampton, which was beneficial for me in setting up the Mumbai office and coordinating the research projects in India.

The research project at Pune requires a special mention as this project helped me understand the impact of maternal nutrition on her child health. My own Ph.D project was based in Pune which tried to explore the social and cultural factors influencing nutritional status of women and young girls in rural Maharashtra.

Currently I am working as a clinical research associate in rheumatology in the Truro (south-west England). Ares of work involves conducting clinical trials for the rheumatology unit, facilitating osteoporosis prevention strategy for the trust to reduce the incidence of future fractures for the high-risk patients in the south-west region, and interested in barriers and facilitators for osteoporosis prevention treatment.

I am interested in the influence of socio-cultural factors affecting the nutritional status of different population groups. Career in public health projects especially involving long term degenerative diseases interests me.
