Muhammad Mapindra

Muhammad Pradhika Mapindra has been qualified in medicine from Indonesia. He is currently working on his PhD project at the Neonatology Department, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Institute for Women’s Health, University College London (UCL). He commenced his program since March 2022, under the auspices of prestigious grant and fellowship from the government of Indonesia. Prior to going for his PhD, Pradhika is a clinician who used to take part in several clinical-based projects regarding neonatal jaundice in a University Hospital in Indonesia. Pradhika has developed particular interest in lung diseases in preterm infants given the concerns of preterm birth rate in Indonesia. For this reason, he aims to explore-in depth his research interest at UCL by gaining experience in translational medicine expertise to capably pioneer surfactant-based research to solve problems in infants in Indonesia. Upon the completion of his PhD program at UCL, he seeks to pursue further clinical specialty training in paediatrics..

Muhammad Pradhiki Mahindra

Muhammad Pradhiki Mahindra currently undertakes his PhD program at Maternal Fetal Medicine Department of Women’s Health, University College London. He started his program with the department in March 2022. He has been awarded by prestigious grant and scholarship from Indonesian government. Back to Indonesia, Pradhiki is a clinician who develops particular interest in Obstetrics and Gynaecology field, focused mostly in the associations between placental dysfunction and pregnancy diseases. Encouraged by his eagerness to solve maternity health problems due to placental related pregnancy diseases in his country, he would intend to dive into research program to master his expertise in pioneering bench to bedside clinical research in Indonesia. As he believes that to solve the health problems in his area, he needs to be skilful in performing research techniques that are relevant to placental research. Once Pradhiki has completed his PhD program at UCL, he is aiming to pursue clinical specialty in obstetrics and gynaecology and subspecialty in maternal foetal medicine. Overall, he is a fully dedicated to his area of interest to become a clinical academics and researcher in high-risk pregnancy cases.
