Jagnoor Sandhu

As a faculty member at MAHE (Institute of Eminence, India), my research focuses on India-centric challenges, including AMR mitigation using phage therapy, rabies surveillance via carcass screening, and advancing diagnostics. MAHE’s robust international network, including MOUs with several Canadian institutions like the University of New Brunswick and McGill University, facilitates cross-border collaboration. My work bridges veterinary and human health through multidisciplinary projects (3D bioprinting, regenerative medicine) with South Asian relevance, addressing zoonotic diseases and One Health priorities. These efforts align with India’s national health goals and foster partnerships with South Asian and diaspora researchers, amplifying impact through shared innovation.

I am keen to join CIRCLE to strengthen Canada-India research synergies, leveraging MAHE’s existing Canadian partnerships. My expertise in the field of laboratory animal experimentation, AMR, phage therapy, and zoonotic disease surveillance aligns with CIRCLE’s focus on global health challenges. Collaborating with Canadian researchers could enhance my work fostering innovation in diagnostics and therapeutics. I aim to contribute to capacity-building workshops, joint grant applications, and knowledge exchange on One Health strategies. CIRCLE’s platform would enable me to expand multidisciplinary networks, integrate Canadian advancements into Indian contexts, and co-design solutions for shared priorities like AMR and zoonosis control, benefiting both nations’ scientific and public health landscapes.
