About

I am a medical doctor, with training in Public Health, whose research interests focus on infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. I have always had a love for the history of medicine (stemming probably from the fact that I am a graduate of the oldest teaching medical school in Asia) and now, it has grown to include the history of infections, epidemics and pandemics.

Education
