A network for students interested in evidence-based health care

Sumanth Kumbargere Nagraj

I am currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Plymouth as a distance-education student. I am working at the Faculty of Dentistry, Melaka-Manipal Medical College, Malaysia in the specialty of Oral Medicine and Oral Radiology. My research interests include Evidence-based healthcare, 3D imaging, and clinical trials in potentially malignant oral disorders. I have published six Cochrane oral health systematic reviews and am now working on research priority-setting methods.
