Mostaured Khan is a health researcher with over six years of experience in epidemiology, biostatistics, and global health research. He is currently undertaking doctoral research at the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit, Bristol Medical School. His primary research interests lie in understanding the biological mechanisms and socio-environmental determinants of mental health. In particular, he is interested in the interplay between psychosocial stress, immune system, inflammation, and psychiatric disorders, and how these pathways may inform the development of personalised treatments for mental health conditions.

Mr Khan’s research integrates large-scale cohort data with advanced statistical and machine learning methods to investigate the biological and genetic pathways underlying psychiatric disorders. He is committed to applying life-course epidemiology and precision public health approaches to identify early risk factors, and enhance diagnostic precision. Previously, he also worked extensively with psychosocial and environmenral risk factors of mental health conditions in resource-limited settings.

Before starting doctoral research, he has been working at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b), where, in addition to mental health, he also focused on improving maternal and child health as well as the quality and equity of healthcare access in resource-limited settings.
