About Krithik Ashokkumar
Hello! I'm a sophomore at Georgetown University majoring in Biology on the pre-med track. My interests lie at the intersection of medicine, bioethics, and global health, with a particular focus on migrant health, clinical ethics, and how cultural barriers shape access to care. I hope to carry these values into my future work as a physician and health advocate.
Last summer, I collaborated with the Pathogen Data Network and the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law on research exploring the ethics of wastewater surveillance. It's a powerful public health tool, but one that raises pressing questions about privacy, data governance, and community trust. The work aimed to build a unified ethical framework grounded in transparency and equity.
In my free time, I enjoy creative writing, strolling through D.C.'s historic neighborhoods, and curling up with a good horror movie.
