I am an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and work as an Infectious Diseases physician at Boston Medical Center. I earned my medical degree from the University of Virginia and completed my residency in Internal Medicine at Yale-New Haven Hospital, where I graduated with a distinction in Global Health and Equity. I then pursued an Infectious Diseases fellowship at Boston University and also hold a Master’s degree in Health Policy and Management from Harvard University.

My work focuses on tuberculosis and infectious diseases, with a particular interest in how undernutrition affects TB outcomes in vulnerable populations. I am involved in research in India, Benin, and Togo, exploring ways to integrate social determinants into health interventions. I aim to promote cost-effective nutritional support that can improve health outcomes in settings with limited resources.

I co-founded and co-chair the TB-undernutrition Working Group at the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, a dynamic community of researchers, clinicians, and advocates who have contributed meaningfully to the recognition of undernutrition as an important TB comorbidity. Due to my engagement with TB-undernutrition research, I have served as a technical resource person for the World Health Organization. I have also collaborated with the governments of India, Benin, and Togo to expand nutritional support and anti-helminthic treatment for people with tuberculosis.

At Boston Medical Center, I’m fortunate to work alongside talented colleagues, and I am involved in training medical students, residents, and fellows. It has been a privilege to mentor more than thirty trainees along the way.

The modicum of success I have enjoyed in academic medicine is a product of guidance and support from a village of generous mentors. Now, I try to pay their kindness forward. I feel very privileged when a brilliant young trainee entrusts their growth as a physician or researcher to me.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Dr. Sinha is dedicated to reducing global health disparities with a focus on undernutrition and tuberculosis. He is engaged in international advocacy to improve social protections for impoverished individuals with TB through his leadership of the International Union Against Tuberculosis & Lung Diseases's TB-Undernutrition working group. He has advocated for health equity through his writing in the popular press in venues such as the New York Times and the Huffington Post.
