Meet our Founder
Dr Anushi (Kulasiri) Rajapaksa
My journey with Misti began at the tender age of 7, fueled by a profound fear of needles that made receiving even basic medical care a daunting challenge - for myself and my parents! It became evident that there were countless other children like me facing similar fears.
​
Over the past 15 years, my unwavering commitment to this cause has driven my career in R&D research. Building upon the foundation of my PhD, I dedicated a decade to addressing this problem as a senior researcher, generously funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council at Melbourne's esteemed Royal Children's Hospital, while being a mom to two wonderful children.
For the last 5 years, my focus has been on refining Misti's design and conducting rigorous pre-clinical testing to put an end to children's respiratory viruses and the discomfort they cause and safely breathe back health into households.
