Identification of Biomarkers of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus from Placenta-Derived Extracellular VesiclesArchive

ICMR-funded research project on the proteomic and lipidomic cargo of placenta-derived extracellular vesicles, investigating candidate biomarkers for early detection, risk stratification, and monitoring of gestational diabetes mellitus. Recorded with ICMR funding of INR 80 Lakhs in 2025; the locally held project record lists its current status as "Ongoing" — current activity status should be confirmed by the laboratory before quoting it.
