What I research
Most of my work asks whether a medicine is safe and appropriately used once it leaves the trial. Recent papers apply open-source Python pipelines and Bayesian–frequentist signal detection to adverse drug reaction data. I also hold a UK Registered Design for a tool supporting early detection of genetic disorders.

Initiatives
Establishment of the Drug and Poison Information Centre (DPIC) at JNMCH, AMU
The centre utilizes infographics, lectures, email consultations and social media tools to improve public literacy on medications. The initiative aims to simplify complex pharmacological data for the layperson, using visual aids to convey important information about mechanisms of action, drug interactions, side effects and safe usage.
Public Drug Awareness through the “Drugs Wise” Initiative
This innovative project not only promotes patient education but also helps reduce medication errors, a major cause of morbidity in healthcare settings.
Publications
The environmental impact on antimicrobial resistance: A threat to biodiversity
Contributed chapter in the book “Environmental Toxicants and Lifestyle Diseases”, published by Springer.
