PhD student in Food & Nutrition at Clemson University

Naturopathy and Yoga Physician

Visiting Doctor at Bindhyabasini Nature Cure Hospital

I am a board-certified naturopathic doctor, whose aim is to find the root cause of your symptoms and treat the whole person with natural medicine. 

As a dedicated researcher with a passion for unravelling the intricate connections between food nutrition, disease development, and optimal health. With a keen interest in understanding how dietary factors influence disease progression, I am currently delving into the complex realm of atherosclerosis research. My focus lies specifically in investigating the regulation of cholesterol efflux within vascular wall cells—a critical mechanism implicated in the development and progression of atherosclerotic plaques. Through meticulous exploration and innovative methodologies, I aim to uncover novel insights that could potentially pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies in combating cardiovascular diseases. With my interdisciplinary approach and unwavering commitment to scientific inquiry, I eagerly anticipate collaborating with like-minded individuals who share a passion for advancing our understanding of nutrition, disease, and human health.
