Background

About Krupa Patel

Hello! I’m a Master of Public Health candidate at Boston University, concentrating in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Through my academic journey, I’m developing advanced skills in epidemiologic research methods, data analysis, and statistical programming, with hands-on experience using tools such as R and SAS. I hold a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from Ahmedabad Dental College and Hospital, which provided a solid foundation in clinical care and deepened my commitment to addressing health disparities. My experience as a dentist sharpened my clinical skills and sparked a strong interest in the intersection of oral health and public health. My research interests center on oral health disparities, tobacco prevention and control, and the unique needs of older adults as a vulnerable population. I am especially passionate about exploring the social determinants of health and using clinical research to improve health outcomes at the population level. I am committed to integrating my clinical background with public health strategies to advance equity and drive meaningful, lasting change. I’m always open to collaborating on research, sharing ideas, and exploring data-driven approaches to advance public health. Let’s connect!
