Extracellular Vesicles, Translational Biomarkers, and Clinical Laboratory Innovation
Advancing diagnostics for brain and maternal health through multi-omics biology and intelligent laboratory systems.
Three Pillars of Practice
Dr. Mitra's work spans three deeply interconnected domains — each reinforcing the others.
Translational Research
PM PregaMind EV-OMICS Laboratory
An independent research program established in 2022 and formally named in 2025. The laboratory investigates extracellular vesicles and multi-omics biomarkers linking brain health, maternal health, and metabolic disorders.
Clinical Diagnostics
Laboratory Medicine at PGIMER
Deep involvement in clinical laboratory governance — from total quality management and NABL accreditation to OPD biochemistry services and laboratory stores management. Vision: AI-integrated, quality-driven diagnostic systems.
