Dr. Subhashisa Swain is a Research Fellow at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford. A qualified physiotherapist and epidemiologist with nearly a decade of experience in multimorbidity research across developed and developing countries, he holds a PhD in Musculoskeletal Epidemiology from the University of Nottingham, UK. His work focuses on the intersection of multiple chronic conditions, ageing, frailty, exercise medicine, and chronic pain, leveraging large electronic health records to address complex multimorbidity challenges.

Currently leading a European consortium on 'Osteoarthritis and comorbidity', Dr. Swain aims to develop non-pharmacological interventions for musculoskeletal conditions. His research emphasizes global health equity, particularly in primary care settings.

Key themes in his work include:

• Multimorbidity patterns in musculoskeletal diseases
• Aging populations and frailty assessment
• Exercise-based therapies for chronic pain management
• International health system responses to complex conditions
