He considers Grenada, the beautiful tri-island nation in the eastern Caribbean, his home. He remains actively involved in numerous health-related projects there.

In his new role at OUWB, Dr. Mandalaneni is eager to leverage his extensive experience in course administration and neuroscience education to contribute to the curriculum and help shape future healthcare leaders nationally and globally. With great anticipation, he embraces OUWB, Michigan, and the USA as the new center of his professional and personal life.
