Sarah Somji has completed her bachelor’s in biomedical science (BSc) and master’s in public health (MPH) from Cardiff University, United Kingdom.

She started off as a site study coordinator at MUHAS of two multi-site clinical trials funded by Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and coordinated by WHO since 2016. This opportunity allowed her to attend a Summer Course at Harvard University, Boston as well as the study meetings in India and Switzerland. She is currently working on her PhD at Tampere University and continues to work with the MUHAS team serving as a part-time technical coordinator for a clinical trial and observational studies that is also funded by BMGF.
