I am an interdisciplinary researcher interested in the dynamics of informal health systems, where both formal and informal health actors collaborate to shape healthcare practices. Focusing on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in community settings, my work uncovers the interactions within these systems, shedding light on health system and policy barriers that impact healthcare delivery and access in resource-constrained contexts. I have led/co-led six UKRI research grants on these issues. My One Health Antibiotic Stewardship (OASIS) team in India is working on a systematic approach to evidence utilization through multi-stakeholder collaboration, facilitating the co-design of effective interventions for human and animal health within mixed health systems. By addressing conflicts of interest underlying the challenge of AMR, we aim to extend these efforts towards the design of comprehensive strategies that promote sustainable and equitable primary healthcare solutions in mixed health systems. Collaborating with partners across Africa, Asia, and South America in the AgriAMU project, I am engaged in conceptualizing people-centered policy solutions and structural frameworks aimed at establishing fair and sustainable antibiotic stewardship within community settings. I have a PhD degree in Public Health and Policy from LSHTM (2006).
