• Country: Nepal (NP)

Research area

• Scientific area(s):
  1. Understand the impact of interventions on development and transmission of AMR
  2. Design, implement, evaluate, and compare innovative interventions to control the development and transmission of AMR
• One Health Setting:

  Human Health Animal Health Environment

• Keywords:

  Nepal; one health; infection; drug resistance; transmission

• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  At the Department of Infection and Immunology, lead by myself, our research team is working to characterise AMR from clinical, environmental and animal sources in Nepal. Additionally, we also work on novel antimicrobials discovery complementing the need of current drug resistance situation. Our institute closely works with Federal and Provincial Nepalese government to work on generating evidences on AMR, and recommends needed policy and strategies based on the research evidence. We have multiple hospital and community sites within the country, where we are working to identify AMR and its impact. Based on this already established network, we have the advantage to cover multiple research questions in different settings as needed by the project. Apart from public health perspective, we also have state-of-the art Bio safety level 2 equivalent laboratory space, and high throughput nucleic acid characterising equipments along with dedicated staffs. If needed, for international transfer of biological specimen, we also have facility of dry ice transporter.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  High transmission level of AMR in Nepal specifically among animal and humans (in hospital and community) situates us to effectively plan and implement interventions targeted for halting transmissions. We would be interested to join projects which helps provide evidence on how to minimize the development and transmission of AMR.
