I came to Canada as an immigrant with South Asian roots. Intrigued by the intertwined analytical and human facets of medicine, I pursued my education at the University of Toronto. There, I found a natural affinity for the health of newcomers, a resonance fueled by personal and familial experiences.

My journey took a pivotal turn during the SARS epidemic in Toronto, igniting a profound commitment to infectious diseases and public health. As both a professor and scientist at the University of Toronto, I immersed myself in the study of epidemics. This path ultimately led me to the founding of BlueDot, a pioneering endeavor aimed at real-world solutions, ahead of its time. I’m proud of the impact we’ve achieved at BlueDot, during the most significant public health crisis in a century. Moving forward, our excitement and dedication remain unwavering as we continue to evolve and innovate our infectious disease intelligence, striving to promote global health and protect lives.
