Profile Summary

Multidisciplinary Public Health Researcher with strong experience in epidemiology, evidence synthesis, and global health research across WHO-supported and international academic projects. Skilled in conducting systematic reviews, meta-analyses, PRISMA-compliant study screening, and risk-of-bias assessments using ROB-2 and ROBINS-I. I have contributed to multiple WHO-endorsed systematic reviews on childhood diarrhea treatment, led research on Early Childhood Development interventions under the Nurturing Care Framework, and co-authored studies on developmental assessment tools, mental health interventions, and infectious disease outbreaks. My professional background includes roles at Aga Khan University, EpiCare Consulting (USA), and the National Institute of Health Pakistan, where I supported outbreak investigations, disease surveillance reporting, and national public health awareness initiatives. I bring additional experience in molecular diagnostics and clinical laboratory testing, complemented by strong data analysis skills in SPSS, R, RevMan, Covidence, and GRADEPro. With academic training in a diversity of scientific fields, I hold a Masters in Neuroscience (MS), Bachelors in Biosciences (BS), and a Postgraduate Diploma in Public Health, I combine scientific rigor with hands-on research coordination, technical writing, and stakeholder engagement across global and national health systems. I am committed to generating high-quality evidence that supports policy, program design, and improved health outcomes.
