Educational/professional background
Hello! I'm Munima Munadeen, a Canadian studying the captivating world of Infectious Diseases at LSHTM. I graduated from the University of Toronto, where I studied Human Biology and Microbiology. By day, I work as a physiotherapy/chiropractic tech, blending hands-on clinical experience to improve the wellbeing of my community.
Research interests or career goals
Once I complete my Master’s, I aspire to bridge the gap between academia and the field, particularly in South Asia. My research interests are broad, ranging from understanding community perceptions of disease and vaccination coverage, to the barriers against immunization in different regions.
Why I chose LSHTM/my programme
Choosing LSHTM was a natural fit, given its reputation in disease research and education. My journey into infectious diseases was sparked by impactful experiences in Bangladesh, where I witnessed firsthand the toll of tropical diseases on these communities. I hope to improve healthcare infrastructure through education in the areas that need it most.
