What is your favorite part of being part of the LMIC Accelerator Cohort?
My favorite part of being part of the LMIC Accelerator Cohort has been the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of professionals who share a common commitment to advancing clinical pharmacology in resource-limited settings. The cohort has provided a platform to learn innovative approaches to research, education, and capacity building that are directly applicable to LMIC environments. I especially value the collaborative discussions, networking opportunities, and exposure to leaders in clinical pharmacology, which have strengthened my ability to contribute to improving rational drug use, pediatric pharmacology, and medical education. Being part of this initiative has not only expanded my professional network but also reinforced my motivation to translate knowledge into meaningful impact for patient care, research development, and training future healthcare professionals in LMICs.
What was the best thing about attending the ASCPT 2026 Annual Meeting?
The best thing about attending the ASCPT 2026 Annual Meeting was the opportunity to connect with global experts, learn cutting-edge advances in clinical pharmacology, and gain practical insights that I can apply to research, education, and patient care in LMIC settings.
Why did you become a member of ASCPT?
I became a member of ASCPT to engage with a global community dedicated to advancing clinical pharmacology and therapeutics. As an academic clinical pharmacologist, I wanted to stay updated with emerging research, enhance collaboration opportunities, and contribute to improving rational drug use and medical education – particularly in LMIC settings. ASCPT provides an excellent platform for professional growth, mentorship, and translating scientific knowledge into better patient care.
How does being a member of ASCPT help you connect with the global clinical pharmacology community?
Being a member of ASCPT helps me connect with the global clinical pharmacology community through networking, collaborative research opportunities, and access to expert discussions and educational resources that foster knowledge sharing across countries.
What professional accomplishment are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my contributions to medical education and clinical pharmacology training, particularly in mentoring medical students and developing curricula that promote rational drug use and patient-centered therapeutics. Through my academic roles, I have been able to help train future physicians and advance clinical pharmacology education in resource-limited settings, which I consider both meaningful and impactful.
What is the most important leadership lesson you have learned the hard way?
The most important leadership lesson I learned the hard way is that effective leadership requires listening first and building consensus rather than trying to implement changes too quickly. I realized that engaging team members, understanding their perspectives, and fostering collaboration lead to more sustainable outcomes and stronger professional relationships.
Who has inspired you in your career?
I have been inspired by my mentors, colleagues, and global leaders in clinical pharmacology who are dedicated to improving patient care through research and education. Their commitment to advancing rational drug use and mentoring the next generation has motivated me to pursue excellence in teaching, research, and leadership in clinical pharmacology.
What has been the greatest challenge in your career?
The greatest challenge in my career has been advancing clinical pharmacology education and research in resource-limited settings, while balancing teaching, mentoring, and academic responsibilities – but this challenge has also strengthened my adaptability and commitment to meaningful impact.
Do you have a favorite tip or trick for clinical practice or research that you want to share with fellow members?
My favorite tip is to always connect pharmacology with real patient scenarios. Applying pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles to clinical cases not only improves therapeutic decision-making but also makes research and teaching more meaningful and impactful.
What is your favorite Society memory?
My favorite Society memory is participating in the ASCPT 2026 Annual Meeting, where I connected with global colleagues, shared ideas, and felt inspired by the collaborative spirit focused on advancing clinical pharmacology and improving patient care worldwide.
Dr. Neupane has been a member of ASCPT since 2025.
