What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in public health research.

I am Dr. Manisha Dubey, a biostatistician with over a decade of experience in public health, demography, and public policy. My journey has taken me through prestigious international organizations, including the United Nations, where I have contributed to significant research projects and publications. With a strong academic background, including a Ph.D. in Population Studies, I have authored 90 original research articles and participated in numerous international conferences.

My expertise lies in the planning, design, evaluation, and dissemination of public health projects. I have successfully led analyses and evaluations for major initiatives, such as the Food and Nutrition Security Analysis in India, collaborating with various ministries and stakeholders. My proficiency in statistical software, including Stata, Tableau, and ArcGIS, enables me to derive meaningful insights from complex data, ultimately contributing to improved health outcomes.
