Dr. Arjun Burlakoti is a senior lecturer of Human Anatomy (Neuroanatomy) at the University of South Australia. He started teaching at the University of South Australia in July 2010. He is a Medical Graduate from the Division of Medicine, at Kathmandu University. Dr. Burlakoti has worked as a surgical medical officer in a tertiary hospital (Kathmandu Model Hospital) in Kathmandu. He is a permanent member of the Nepal Medical Council.

Dr. Burlakoti completed his "Ph. D. in Medicine (Anatomy and Pathology)" and graduated from Adelaide Medical School, The University of Adelaide, South Australia, with a thesis titled "Anatomical variations of the cerebral basal arterial network with special emphasis on morphometrics and their relation to cerebral aneurysms". He explored cerebral basal arterial network (CBAN) morphology, variations, asymmetries, and aneurysms in cadaveric brains (by performing dissections at Adelaide Ray Last Anatomy Laboratory, UniSA Anatomy laboratory, Flinders Medical Centre), and Radiographic Images (cerebral magnetic resonance angiography; MRA and computed tomography angiography; CTA) from South Australia Imaging Centre, Royal Adelaide Hospital.

Dr. Burlakoti has been involved in teaching Human Anatomy and performing cadaver dissection for the past 18 years in different parts of the world including Kathmandu (Kathmandu Model Hospital school of basic sciences), Shandong North East China (Weifang Medical University), South Australian Institute of Business and Technology (SAIBT), Adelaide Medical School (University of Adelaide) and the University of South Australia (July 2010 to continuing).

He has worked as a neuroanatomy, systemic and functional anatomy dissection instructor at Weifang Medical University, Sangdong China, and the University of Adelaide, South Australia.

Dr. Burlakoti is the winner (1st prize) of the University of South Australia’s Images of Research and Teaching Competition 2022 (Teaching), he is the recipient of the “2018 Academic Staff of the year Recognition Award” announced by the former Pro-Vice Chancellor (Division of Health) Professor Bob Vink, University of South Australia, Division of Health Sciences at the ‘End of the Year Celebrating Success Function’. Former Pro-Vice-Chancellor and the Head of School, and the current Executive Dean, of UniSA Allied Health and Human Performance, Professor Roger Eston, and colleagues across the Division were very delighted that Dr. Burlakoti had received this lovely recognition from his peers in the Division of Health Sciences. He was one of the lecturers at The University of South Australia, who recently received a ‘10-Year Staff Service Award’ in December 2020.

National Finalist and the Winner- Shaping Australia- The Future Builder Award (Universities Australia) 2023-2024.

Please find below the media highlights (2021 national and International coverage, been mentioned by more than 16 news outlets worldwide) on Dr. Burlakoti's recent research publications and findings.
