Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Laxman Shrestha's research focuses on public health, with a particular emphasis on maternal and child health in low- and middle-income countries. His work investigates the impact of various interventions and environmental factors on health outcomes in infants and mothers. Recent publications explore the effects of vitamin B12 supplementation during pregnancy on infant growth and development in Nepal, and factors influencing cognitive and motor scores in low birth weight infants in North India.
Further research examines the association between biomass fuel use for cooking and child cognitive abilities and leukocyte telomere length in Nepalese families. Shrestha has also studied the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mothers in Nepal and contributed to discussions on enhancing clinical trial sites in low-resource settings to facilitate product development. His work includes trials on topical applications of sunflower seed oil for neonatal mortality and morbidity in Nepal, and zinc as an adjunct treatment for severe infections in young infants in India and Nepal.
Shrestha has a h-index of 22, with 95 publications and 1,490 citations. He has collaborated with Frederick A. Beland and Jia‐Long Fang from the National Center for Toxicological Research.
