Moutushi Majumder, MPhil
What do you do at the Centre?
As a Research Associate, I contribute to developing studies, analysing data and writing scientific manuscripts across the Centre’s research programmes. My work has focused particularly on suicide prevention, mortality estimation, and understanding bereavement and support needs following injury-related deaths, and I am also expanding my work in gender-based violence. Through this research, I help generate evidence on injury patterns, the needs of affected populations, and gaps and barriers within health systems, with the aim of informing policy and strengthening injury prevention and care.
What draws you to this work?
I am drawn to research that can lead to meaningful improvements in people’s health and lives. What motivates me is understanding not only the occurrence of injuries, but also their wider and longer-term effects on individuals, families and communities, including disability, bereavement and caregiving. I am particularly interested in research that identifies opportunities for prevention, addresses gaps in health systems, and helps translate evidence into better policy and practice.
