Program Manager- AYUSH Center of Excellence
Department of Health Sciences - Savitribai Phule Pune University

I hold an M.D. in Ayurved Siddhant with over 15 years of clinical practice experience. Post that, on developing an interest in research, I moved to work in the field of clinical research. Transitioning into clinical research, I worked at the Integrated Cancer Research Center, enhancing the quality of life for cancer survivors through consultation, diet modification, and Panchakarma therapy. I have also contributed to various vaccine trials, including pivotal roles in Covid-19 and HPV vaccine trials at KEM Research Center.

Currently, I manage the research activities at AYUSH CoE as a Program Manager. These activities span from interventional, clinical, and preclinical projects at AYUSH-CoE, ensuring regulatory compliance and strategic planning while collaborating with cross-functional teams. I am also involved in the Rasayana clinical trial, focusing on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Ayurveda-based botanicals.

In addition to my research activities, I engage in community-driven medical camp activities in tribal areas and lead health awareness sessions for the public. Outside of work, I enjoy fitness, trekking, dancing, as well as cooking.
