About Ashwini Erande

With over two decades of experience spanning integrative health, public health, and cardiology research across the US and India, I bring a unique blend of scientific rigor, cross-cultural insight, and compassionate leadership to every project I touch. I’ve successfully led and supported more than 20 research initiatives alongside renowned investigators, driving excellence in protocol development, research operations, recruitment, regulatory compliance, data integrity, and training.My expertise includes designing and implementing SOPs, e-CRFs, and study tools; performing meticulous QA/QC using REDCap tools; and conducting biostatistical analyses using SAS, SPSS, and Excel—especially with large datasets. I thrive in mentoring diverse teams, from junior interns to medical fellows, and have created impactful training materials and sessions tailored to evolving research needs.I’m a published author in American and international journals, with contributions to grant proposals, newsletters, and manuscripts. My clinical research experience includes participant recruitment, implementing study activities/procedures, and IRB submissions, maintaining compliance by meeting regulatory requirements, navigating IRB, FDA, and GCP guidelines with precision.Multilingual (English, Hindi, Marathi), highly organized, and deeply analytical, I’m passionate about lifelong learning and holistic wellness. Outside of research work, I explore functional nutrition, read about healing modalities, mind-body connections, consciousness-spirituality, develop gluten- and dairy-free recipes, and design movement-based wellness regimens that blend yoga and dance.Let’s connect if you’re interested in collaborative research, mentorship, or advancing integrative approaches to health.
