“COVID Task Force” with Dr. Manisha Doiphode
A clinical Geneticist & fetal medicine consultant Dr. Manisha Doiphode started her journey 15 years ago at a time when both the streams were very new to India.
Her passion for the subject lead her to giving talks to her colleagues making them aware of genetic diseases, genetic diagnosis & genetic counseling. She would have talks at CMEs and workshops; and this benefited her largely as she began to be recognized in this field and today gets patients from all over India.
Eloquent as she is, she also writes well which has made her a part of the Editorial Board of the IMA PCB Executive Committee’s award winning news letter SPANDAN.
She has many firsts to her credit. Nityanand Clinic in PCMC, is the first stand-alone genetic clinic that Dr.Manisha Doiphode started.

She was a clinical consultant on PUBOS ( Pune Urban Birth Outcome Study), with world renowned scientist, Dr. Anita Kar. She has won the first prize at the 1st PPHC conference organised by Pune University for her poster presentation on birth defects.
Now a Clinical Geneticist with LifeCell International Private Limited, doctor and her team worked relentlessly. During the pandemic Nityanand Genetic Laboratory was the only genetic diagnostics laboratory in PCMC offering genetic diagnostic services.
