L’utilité de ce genre d’institutions est incontestable. Car le monde moderne est sans cesse confronté à des innovations, médicales ou autres, qui s’appliquent à l’homme ou à son environnement proche. Ce lieu est donc nécessaire pour préparer la matière intellectuelle qui sera ensuite transférée aux citoyens afin que ceux- ci puissent se prononcer quant à la légitimité de ces innovations.

Biologie
I completed Master's degree in Public Health Microbiology at Tribhuvan University, Nepal before moving to Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, University of Basel, Switzerland as PhD student. The PhD project was started in 2009 to study epidemiology of tuberculosis and cost analysis of diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis disease in Nepal.
My research focuses on public health of tuberculosis – first, the epidemiology and diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. I am investigating the genotypes of the pathogen that may impose differential risk to disease. Second, to understand the current growing cases of drug resistance; I have been working on finding genetic drug resistance patterns that may contribute in designing diagnostics. Tuberculosis is considered as disease of poverty and has huge socio-economic impact to the patient and community. Additionally, I am interested in health economics referring to direct patient costs of treatment seeking, tuberculosis diagnosis, treatment and estimate the total cost until end of treatment among male and female cases, and patients with different income status. During my stay at the Brocher Foundation in 2013, I am planning to do data analysis and write manuscripts that will be submitted for publication to peer-reviewed journals. I believe the publication will be of significant importance to tuberculosis control program in Nepal and researchers worldwide.
