About Dr. Kathirvel M.
Dr. Kathirvel M. is a Clinical Geneticist based in Chennai, with a strong paediatric foundation and advanced training in molecular oncology. He is recognised for integrating precision medicine and artificial intelligence into genomic diagnostics — a clinician-academician committed to bridging the gap between complex laboratory findings and bedside care.
Currently pursuing an MSc in Molecular Oncology, he brings a sophisticated understanding of hereditary cancer to his clinical practice. He is particularly noted for his expertise in ACMG/ClinGen variant classification and the reanalysis of genomic data to resolve complex diagnostic cases — returning to previously inconclusive results with updated evidence to find answers that were not available the first time around. Beyond clinical care, he develops teaching tools and structured learning platforms to improve genetic literacy among medical professionals.
