Dr. Arjun Mehra

Dr. Arjun Mehra trained as a physician at a medical college in Pune before completing a master's degree in public health epidemiology in Singapore. Having witnessed firsthand the devastation of infectious disease outbreaks in South and Southeast Asia, he turned to science journalism to amplify research that deserved a global audience. At Discovia, Arjun covers vaccines, antimicrobial resistance, pandemic preparedness, and innovations in tropical medicine — areas where the distance between a discovery and a saved life can be measured in column inches. He writes with the conviction that access to clear health information is itself a form of medicine. He lives in Singapore with his family.
