I am a Medical doctor with MD Community Medicine and specialized training in health policy system research. At present, I am doing phd from Maastricht University in Tuberculosis and health literacy. I have more than a decade of experience as a public health specialist. I have expertise in TB, health system strengthening and evidence synthesis.
Our findings support a causal role of gut microbial composition in modulating susceptibility to TB and T2DM. Several taxa exhibit disease-specific or dual associations, revealing convergent pathways along the gut–lung–metabolic axis. These insights underscore the potential for microbiota-targeted diagnostics and therapeutics, particularly in TB-DM comorbidity. Future research should prioritize species-level resolution, multi-ancestry analyses, and longitudinal studies in TBDM populations.
