@DBTIndia Championing Women-Led Science for a Viksit Bharat.

Dr. Pallavi Kshetrapal, Ph.D., Associate Professor, @THSTIFaridabad, has made impactful contributions to maternal and child health, infectious disease research, and national biobanking.

She led the establishment of a dedicated National Biobank for maternal and child health and infectious diseases — the first NABL-accredited and DBT-supported biobank to achieve ISO 20387:2018 certification.

Her work on standardized biobanking protocols has strengthened research quality, enabled global collaborations, and supported large multi-site cohort studies.

Her research has also advanced the understanding of placental inflammation, preterm birth, and metabolic and epigenetic signatures in pregnancy.

Dr. Kshetrapal has contributed to major initiatives including GARBH-Ini, the Multi-Omics for Mothers and Infants Consortium, and DBT’s COVID-19 programs, supporting improved risk prediction and biomarker discovery for maternal and newborn health.

Project aims to understand the effect of #neuroinflammation on #neurodevelopment using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells across #Autism, #schizophrenia & #bipolardisorders. Candidates with demonstrable experience do apply.

[ashitha s n m @ashithasnm]

2yr project funded by @MQmentalhealth, will be conducted in collaboration with Prof Deepak Srivastava, Kings College London.
Walk in interview on 24th March 2026. Please

I serendipitously found myself speaking about autism families at the Addiction conference #CAMCON at NIMHANS, thanks to my dearest friend
@Bhagyal69760433, her support and encouragement was instrumental.

We discussed how parental substance use increases autism severity.
