Ms. Aayushi Rastogi | Non-communicable diseases | Young Scientist Award

Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences | India

Aayushi Rastogi is a public-health researcher specializing in liver-disease epidemiology, with a strong focus on diabetes-associated liver conditions, screening models, and health-systems strengthening. Her work integrates epidemiologic methods with primary-care program implementation to advance early detection and management of liver fibrosis. She has contributed to more than 30 peer-reviewed publications and has played key roles in protocol development, study coordination, quantitative analysis, and manuscript preparation. Her doctoral research examined the prevalence and predictors of liver fibrosis among individuals with diabetes, generating evidence highly relevant for community-based screening initiatives. A major contribution of her work is the development of a practical, low-resource fibrosis-risk score tailored for primary-care settings. This tool uses minimal clinical and laboratory parameters to stratify risk and guide referral pathways, thereby enhancing accessibility of liver-disease assessment at the frontline level. She has also contributed to health-systems research, capacity-building programs, and CSR-supported public-health initiatives, including screening, tele-mentoring, and community engagement projects. With expertise in epidemiologic design, STATA-based data analysis, and implementation research, her work advances evidence-based strategies for early detection, risk stratification, and strengthening of liver-health services, ultimately supporting improved care models for populations at risk of chronic liver disease.
