Iam Dr. Jaya Ranjalkar, currently Assistant Professor in the department of Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacology, Christian Medical College, Vellore. I was the former Interim Director of ReAct Asia Pacific (RAP) and a member of ReAct’s global leaders’ group (R-GLG) for 2023.

During my postgraduate thesis, I studied the pharmacokinetics of two antitubercular drugs for different regimens in children. I worked as a short-term consultant for the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) in India from August to December 2016. I conducted research and stakeholder interviews with antivenom manufacturers and delivered a report titled ‘Snake-bite and market landscape of anti-venom in India – A situational analysis’.I joined the RAP in May 2017 and worked on various aspects of antimicrobial resistance until 2023. I also held the position of ‘Senior research officer’ at the Department of Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacology, CMC Vellore, from May 2017 to October 2021.
