I’m Nayyar Abbas and have been involved in research for a number of years in Pakistan where I was involved in population and demography related projects on health issues in Pakistan. Some of my research has been published in Pakistan. I now live in the Little Horton area with my wife and new born Son. I decided to join BIB as a volunteer to help with recruiting fathers to the BIBBS cohort and also to join the CRAG to support research efforts. I hope to do this from both a parental and community point of view and to look at things from a Researchers point of view. Good research needs both perspectives.
