By drawing upon her strong faith in God, Dr. Neelam Tanega-Uppal continues in her 30^th year of seasoned experience in infectious diseases and internal medicine. Currently, she’s serving in her 19^th year as a physician with the Bay Area Infectious Disease in New York. There, Dr. Tanega-Uppal spreads her expertise in AIDS research, internal medicine and infectious diseases to conduct research on their treatments and cures.

Dr. Taneja-Uppal completed her residency in the United States, but received a MD in India. She became involved in her profession because she was motivated to go into medicine after her father’s demise. Her book ‘Is your Pet Safe,’ about unspecified parasites that transition through pets into the human body, is her proudest achievement. In five years, Dr. Taneja-Uppal hopes to move more into research as opposed to treatment.
