Biomedical Engineer, CMU | Product Manager & Medical Writer | Expert in Clinical Research with 6+ years of experience

Profile Summary

A passionate lifelong student of Biomedical sciences with a Master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), I have always been fascinated by the constantly advancing research that provides innovative medical solutions. During my Masters, I have published a research paper which was presented at IEEE ICIP 2014 titled 'Stain Separation in Histology Images'. Keen to apply engineering to solve real world clinical problems, I joined Apollo Hospitals as Program Manager to develop cost-effective technology enabled point of care testing solutions. I conceptualized, designed & drafted a pilot proposal which received funding by International Finance Corporation (IFC) in 2016. I have also co-authored a paper on SEHAT - India’s largest rural Telehealth initiative which was presented at Med-e-Tel, one of the largest global digital health conferences, organized by ISfTeH. I can say with some pride, that I was responsible for the launch & implementation of India’s first ‘Integrated Digital Vital Monitor’ in 100+ Primary Healthcare Centers with the Govt of India (Common Service Centers Scheme). I have had the good fortune to work with some of the best MedTech companies across the globe, which has taught me to develop business cases across rural, semi-urban and urban markets. To illustrate, I led the launch of India’s first ever ‘Automated Rapid point of care testing’ device for Malaria, Dengue, which helped me pioneer the use of Connected Devices in rural India. My experience in product development, project deployment and clinical research has taught me to seamlessly transition from concept to commercialization. Working with interdisciplinary teams has enabled me to act as a bridge between doctors, engineers, and programmers, leading to better clinical outcomes. At present, I work as R&D Manager at UE Lifesciences India Pvt Ltd leading the development of tools for early detection of Breast & Cervical cancer. I have worked extensively on the development of intellectual property and technical documentation for regulatory approvals (FDA & CE). My efforts have led to the development and clinical validation of our Gen II Breast screening device which will empower community health workers to deliver standardized breast exams with improved clinical efficacy. I have conceptualized, designed & drafted a grant proposal for a large scale cervical cancer screening project which received funding from Pfizer Foundation in August 2019. I was also responsible for the launch of the first clinical study for Gen II iBreastExam at Bangalore Baptist Hospital achieving 87% sensitivity & 94% specificity. At present, I am looking for suitable freelance research opportunities in the Healthcare space which will accelerate clinical research & development remotely, given the global crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
