Dr Pratyush Nath Upreti appointment as advisor to World Health Organisation

18 January, 2023

Dr Pratyush Nath Upreti appointed as WHO Advisor

The School is pleased to congratulate Dr Pratyush Nath Upreti on his appointment as an intellectual property expert in a seven-member expert committee formed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) South-East Asia.

 The expert committee will advise on the research project on the Development of Measles-Rubella Rapid Diagnostic (MR-RDT) Test Kits. Measles-Rubella (MR) elimination is the flagship programme of the WHO-South-East Asia region. The research project is a collaborative endeavour with the Faculty of Life Science and Biotechnology of South Asian University, the United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, and other partners of WHO South-East Asia.  

The committee comprises seven members from different disciplines coming from the United States, India, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and Bangladesh for a period of three years and are eligible for reappointment for a maximum of two tenures.

Dr Upreti said: "I feel really honoured to be appointed as an expert for World Health Organisation to advise on the research project Development of Measles-Rubella Rapid Diagnostic (MR-RDT) Test Kits. As a member of MR-RDT monitoring group, we will monitor the project and make recommendations. In my capacity, I will provide technical support to the work related to MR-RDT activities, in particular on intellectual property issues. I'm looking forward to contributing to this important project in South-East Asia."
