Research
Current research includes childhood malnutrition, behavioral health, cardiovascular risk and health-facility readiness in Bangladesh, supported by research-methods training and hands-on molecular and synthetic biology work.
The Leaf Project
Founded in 2023, The Leaf Project connects sustainability with health, animal welfare, education, and practical community support across Bangladesh, Jordan, Pakistan, India and other regions.
The Leaf Project / Impact
The work spans disease awareness, animal welfare, tree planting, food support, volunteer coordination, school outreach, and direct community assistance.
