Genetidoc Platform Now Brings
Together 10 Top Genetics Doctors, Serving Families Across India with a Combined
Experience of Over 1,00,000 Families and 65,000 Genetic Tests
Thiruvananthapuram,
Kerala : Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA
Testing Lab has expanded its specialist panel with ten newly joining Clinical
Geneticists, further strengthening its position as India's largest network of
online genetics specialists.
The doctors joining
Genetidoc bring, between them, clinical experience at some of India's most
respected medical institutions and a combined exposure of over 1,00,000
families and 65,000 genetic tests across every major area of the
discipline, from prenatal diagnosis and rare childhood syndromes to hereditary
cancers and adult genetic disorders.
A Platform Built Around Access
Genetidoc was founded
on a straightforward observation: most families in India who need a genetics
specialist cannot reach one. The platform's response has been practical. All
consultations take place online so patients do not need to travel to a metro
city or wait months for a tertiary centre appointment. The platform serves patients
directly and supports referring physicians (general practitioners,
obstetricians, paediatricians, oncologists, and neurologists) who need reliable
genetics specialist input for their patients.
Pan-India Sample Collection for
Genetic Testing
Genetidoc coordinates
DNA sample collection from homes and clinics across India from Chandigarh to
Kerala, from Punjab to West Bengal, through a network of trained collection
partners. Samples are processed at NABL and CAP accredited partner
laboratories, with all clinical interpretation carried out by Genetidoc's own
qualified genetics specialists. For families in districts far from a diagnostic
centre, this end-to-end arrangement removes one of the most persistent barriers
to genetic testing: the difficulty of arranging a sample in the first place.
Consultations in Ten Indian
Languages
The platform's
specialist panel collectively consults in English, Hindi, Malayalam,
Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi, and Rajasthani, covering
patient communities across the length and breadth of the country. Genetics
consultations often carry high-stakes information: recurrence risks,
inheritance patterns, cancer surveillance decisions, and reproductive options.
Receiving that information in one's own language, from a doctor familiar with
the local and familial context, makes a measurable difference to how it is
understood and acted upon.
The Specialists Joining the Panel
The ten joining doctors
are active consultants and clinicians whose work spans the full spectrum of
genetic medicine:
Dr. Chakshu Chaudhry
specialises in prenatal genetics and neurodevelopmental conditions, and
independently consults at Motherhood Hospital and Chaitanya Hospital in the
Tricity region. Dr. Devi Saranya S, who holds additional certification in
cancer genetics from Harvard Medical School, independently consults at Rajagiri
Hospital, Kochi. Dr. Muhammed Shabeer P focuses on metabolic disorders and
neurogenetics, with independent practice at Meitra Hospital and Baby Memorial
Hospital across Kozhikode and Kannur. Dr. Sarath R S is an active medical
educator and independent consultant at multiple centres across Angamaly,
Bhubaneswar, Guwahati, and Visakhapatnam. Dr. Kathirvel M specialises in
oncogenetics and complex genomic reanalysis, and independently consults at a
centre in Chennai.
Dr. Selvamanojkumar S,
who has presented research at SSIEM Porto 2024 and serves as a biocurator for
the ClinGen international consortium, independently consults at centres in
Mumbai including Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children and P.D. Hinduja
Hospital. Dr. Shifali Gupta, independently is a lead Clinical Geneticist at
PRAGMA Hospital, Bathinda, also runs a widely followed public genetics
education channel on YouTube. Dr. Vishaka Kothiwale focuses on deep phenotyping
and rare paediatric disorders, and independently consults at the Institute of
Child Health, Apollo Clinic, and Manipal Hospitals in Kolkata. Dr. Robert
Patrick Selvam, trained at KMC Manipal and St. John's Medical College
Bangalore, brings a rare dual background in pathology and medical genetics,
with research presented at ESHG 2025 in Milan. Dr. Roshan Daniel continues as
the founding Geneticist of the platform, and independently heads the Department
of Medical Genetics at KIMSHealth, Trivandrum.
All ten specialists
hold DM or DrNB qualifications in Medical Genetics, with training backgrounds
including AIIMS New Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh, Kasturba Medical College Manipal,
St. John's Medical College Bangalore, and Harvard Medical School. This is a distinction
that matters: in a genetics testing market where patients are frequently guided
by unqualified counsellors or commercially driven recommendations, Genetidoc's
model is built entirely around doctors who have spent years training
specifically in this field.
A Note from a Referring Physician
Dr. Amandeep Kaundal,
Pediatrician, Shimla, said:
"In Shimla, there
is no clinical geneticist. When I see a child with a suspected genetic
condition or an unusual developmental profile, I need a referral pathway that
is both credible and practical. Genetidoc has been exactly that, my patients
get a proper genetics consultation promptly, their families are counselled in a
language they understand, and sample collection is arranged locally. It has
changed how I manage these cases."
Founder's Statement
Dr. Roshan Daniel, Clinical Geneticist, Founder of Genetidoc,
and Head of the Medical Genetics Department at KIMSHealth, Trivandrum, said:
"India has a
significant shortage of qualified genetics specialists, and the burden falls
hardest on families outside the major cities. Genetidoc was built to bridge
that gap, through online consultations, doorstep sample collection, and a panel
that speaks the patient's language. The doctors joining us are active
clinicians with deep experience across the country, and they share a commitment
to making genetics accessible. This expansion allows us to serve more families,
in more languages, from more parts of India."
