Global Health
In order to use my scientific training for public benefit,  I work with organizations in India to promote, teach, and contribute to enhanced outcomes for public health. 
My areas of interest are: 
  • Capacity building in global health 
  • Mental health and substance abuse (including the use of arts and dance to promote positive mental health)
  • Aging and palliative care
  • Neurological disorders

science advocacy
I have visited Capitol Hill to lobby elected officials for neuroscience funding.  

Science Consulting
I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of organizations from Pfizer and Novartis, to the Centers for Disease Control - in all these engagements, I have used my science training and background to solve a multitude of issues. 

Preclinical science
For my doctoral and postdoctoral work, I investigated mechanisms by which neuronal circuits generate and sustain epileptic seizures. 
Clinical science
As a clinical scientist, I have worked - both in India and the US - to directly apply my science training for patients with refractory epilepsies. 

science education
From day-long Brain Awareness Week events to developing curricula, to teaching educators, I am passionate about disseminating science information to the public.
