Navidad is the inaugural Chair of the Institutional Research Ethics Board, which oversees existing and helps establish new research ethics committees for accreditation by the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board (PHREB).

A longtime Social Health Studies research interest group member, she conducts researches on the interface of the social and allied health sciences, several of which have received grants from agencies such as the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development, Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care, and Porticus Asia. Currently, she is working on a two-part study on “Healing Interventions from Local Traditions” (HILOT), which involves a scoping review and cultural mapping of how hilot is practiced in the archipelago.

After winning the regional search, she competed with all the regional winners to finally capture the award. Navidad expressed gratitude to her superiors and colleagues in the Faculty of Pharmacy, and acknowledged the Research Center for Social Sciences for providing support for her research undertakings. In an interview with the Communications Bureau, she advised Thomasians to “know your goal and have passion for what you are doing.”

The research focused on the isolation of a free-living amoebae in a volcanic mud spring in Los Banos, Laguna and is said to be the first surveillance study conducted in the area for potentially pathogenic free-living amoebae. The isolate can thrive to up to 80 degrees celcius and is considered the first of its kind. Free-living Amoebae can cause fatal and non-fatal infections of the brain when contracted by swimming in freshwater sources like lakes, hot springs, and swimming pools.

The research group is composed of Crisselle Celis, Isabella Caburnay, Fritz Avila, Angela Cunan, Aleli Cuevas, Kenneth Banal, J Piolo Blanco, Hannah Conol, and Asst Prof. Giovanni De Jesus Milanez, PhD as the group’s research adviser. Collaborators include Asst. Dean Ma. Frieda Z. Hapan, PhD, Department Chair Prof. Edilberto P. Manahan, PhD, and Asst Prof. Frederick Masangkay. The group received a travel grant, a plaque, and a cash prize.

The conference was participated in by researchers from Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, Taiwan, and the Philippines.
