Biography:

Jeyatheepan Jeyaretnam MD, MSc  is a physician and clinical researcher based in EU, specializing in tropical medicine, infectious diseases, and lymphatic drainage therapies. He serves as the International Medical and Scientific Coordinator for the Leg Clinics Network , where he focuses on instrumental and non-invasive lymphatic therapies for the management of lymphedema.

Jeyaretnam’s research emphasizes non-invasive approaches to early-stage lower extremity lymphedema, including intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) and multi-chamber peristaltic lymphatic drainage systems. His work also explores innovative prevention strategies for malaria and neglected tropical diseases, as well as public health interventions in low-resource and disaster-prone regions.

He has authored numerous publications, including recent studies on the therapeutic influence of IPC on chronic lymphedema, mechanistic assessments of the Kuhnke modality in lymphatic modulation, and novel drug-based strategies for malaria prevention. His interdisciplinary expertise bridges cardiovascular physiology, tropical medicine, and global health, emphasizing scalable, evidence-based interventions that improve vascular and metabolic outcomes in underserved populations.

Jeyaretnam holds advanced clinical and research training in Switzerland and contributes actively to international collaborations in lymphatic medicine, infectious disease control, and cardiovascular risk reduction, making him a leading voice in integrating lymphatic therapies into global health strategies.
