Dr. Shakeel Mahmood is a Research Fellow at Charles Sturt University's Rural Health Research Institute, specializing in health policy analysis with a focus on culturally sensitive interventions to improve rural Australia's health outcomes. He holds a PhD in Health Policy from the University of Newcastle and serves as a casual academic there, while also lecturing at Australian Catholic University. His career spans over two decades across institutions in Australia, Bangladesh, and the U.S., emphasizing evidence-based policy design.
Key research areas include HIV/AIDS prevention among marginalized groups (e.g., female garment workers in Bangladesh), diabetes management in rural populations, and addressing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) impacting First Nations and Aboriginal communities.

Publications highlight his interdisciplinary approach, blending epidemiology, policy evaluation, and cultural competency. His work often intersects with social determinants of health, advocating for systemic reforms to address health inequities. While his research spans multiple regions, core themes include strengthening healthcare access, improving policy implementation, and reducing health disparities through culturally tailored strategies.
