Previously Dr. Prior to this role, he served as BMGF Director of Family Health, leading strategy development and implementation across nutrition, family planning and maternal, newborn and child health.

My research focuses on advancing child health and development in low resource settings and advancing gender equality and health globally, and includes several applications of artificial intelligence.

In this role, I was responsible for investments ranging from scientific discovery to intervention development and delivery of interventions at scale.
Based on these experiences, I understand how to identify knowledge gaps and generate evidence of impact for new interventions, and how to utilize evidence to influence the policy dialogue leading to programmatic adoption and scale-up of interventions in low income settings. As Director of Family Health, I also co-led the development and implementation of the BMGF global health strategy for India, which cuts across multiple health and development sectors.
I led the development of newborn health research, including numerous facility- and community-based maternal and child health research trials.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of topical emollient treatments in improving neonatal growth and mortality rates. Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.
