Recently, CBID program director, Dr. Soumya Acharya was featured on an episode of the podcast ‘Socializing with Scientists.’ On this episode, Dr. Acharya gave listeners insight into how his childhood was sprinkled with meaningful events in science, all culminating to the incredible and well-achieved person he is today. In this episode, listeners got to understand more about what CBID means to him, and how Dr. Acharya gains fulfillment through biomedical engineering.

Dr. Acharya currently serves as the program director at CBID. His work is heavily tied in the global medical technology pillar of CBID. In this aspect of his work, he focuses on developing novel healthcare solutions for public health interventions occurring internationally. Many of the innovations he has played a role in, have now gained funding from USAID, and are preliminary field studies in both South Asia and East Africa.

In this chat, listeners got to learn more about what he has been recently up to. Specifically, working with a CBID team named, ‘Vector Cam’. An innovation tied into the use of mobile phones, to identify mosquitos and reduce the spread of Malaria.

To all who are interested in the field of biomedical engineering, medical technology, global health interventions, and potentially gaining a masters at CBID JHU, we highly recommend you take a listen, to get a taste for the impact you could access by joining CBID.
