Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab is delighted to welcome Dr. Tanuja Rajial, DM Medical Genetics (AIIMS, Jodhpur), MD Pediatrics (UCMS, Delhi), MBBS (IGMC, Shimla) — Clinical Geneticist at Genexplore Diagnostics and Research Centre, Ahmedabad — to its panel of specialists.
Dr. Tanuja Rajial brings to Genetidoc a credentials profile built across some of India’s most respected medical institutions, a Harvard-certified foundation in cancer genetics, and a published research record spanning multiple domains of medical genetics. Her joining also marks a significant geographic expansion for the platform — she is Genetidoc’s first Gujarat-based specialist, extending the network’s in-state reach into one of India’s largest and most populous states.
A Training Journey Across India’s Best Institutions
Dr. Rajial’s academic formation reflects a deliberate and disciplined progression through Indian medicine’s finest institutions. She completed her MBBS at Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla — one of Himachal Pradesh’s premier government medical colleges — before moving to Delhi for her MD in Pediatrics at the University College of Medical Sciences, one of the capital’s most respected teaching institutions.
For her DM in Medical Genetics, she trained at AIIMS Jodhpur — part of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences network, the gold standard of postgraduate medical training in India. She subsequently completed advanced training in Cancer Genetics through the HMX programme at Harvard Medical School, adding an internationally benchmarked layer of expertise in hereditary oncogenetics to an already strong academic foundation.
This progression — IGMC to UCMS Delhi to AIIMS to Harvard — reflects not just academic achievement, but a sustained commitment to building the deepest possible foundation in a field that demands it.
Gujarat — A State That Needed a Geneticist
Gujarat is home to over 60 million people. It has a thriving healthcare sector, major tertiary hospitals, and a medically engaged population. What it has historically lacked is a significant presence of qualified Clinical Geneticists.
For families in Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, and across the state who have needed genetics expertise — for a child with a rare syndrome, a fetal anomaly, a hereditary cancer risk, or a metabolic disorder — the options have typically been limited to travelling to Mumbai, Pune, or Delhi, or going without specialist care altogether.
Dr. Rajial’s practice at Genexplore Diagnostics and Research Centre in Ahmedabad is a direct contribution to changing that. And through Genetidoc, her expertise now extends beyond Gujarat to families anywhere in India who can access her online — including families in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and across western India who face the same specialist shortage.
A Clinician-Researcher — Published Across Multiple Genetics Domains
Dr. Rajial has authored and co-authored multiple scientific publications spanning Medical Genetics, Paediatric Genetics, Rare Diseases, Neurogenetics, Genomic Medicine, and Prenatal Genetics. This is not a peripheral academic interest — it is a direct reflection of the breadth of her clinical practice and the range of conditions she evaluates and manages.
A clinician who publishes research is a clinician who stays connected to the evolving evidence base of the field — who is not just applying established protocols, but contributing to the understanding that shapes those protocols. For patients with rare diseases in particular, where clinical knowledge is still being built and guidelines are still being written, this connection to the research frontier is clinically meaningful.
Her academic interests specifically include the application of genomic technologies to complex paediatric disorders and the translation of genomic advances into everyday clinical practice — a research orientation that is, in essence, a commitment to making cutting-edge genetics useful to real patients.
Areas of Specialisation
Paediatric Genetics and Rare Diseases Comprehensive evaluation and management of genetic disorders presenting in childhood — from complex syndromic conditions requiring multi-system assessment to rare diseases where a correct genetic diagnosis reshapes the clinical trajectory entirely.
Neurogenetics and Genetic Epilepsy Specialist evaluation of hereditary neurological conditions and epilepsy syndromes with a genetic basis — an area where an accurate molecular diagnosis directly determines treatment choices, prognosis, and family risk assessment.
Developmental and Syndromic Disorders Diagnostic workup for developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, and congenital malformations — conditions where families may have waited years for an answer that genetics can finally provide.
Hereditary Cancer Genetics Harvard-certified expertise in cancer genetics applied to hereditary cancer risk assessment, family screening, and surveillance planning — covering BRCA-related cancers, Lynch syndrome, and other high-risk hereditary syndromes.
Prenatal and Reproductive Genetics Expert counselling for fetal anomalies, high-risk pregnancies, carrier screening, and preconception planning — supporting families through some of the most consequential decisions they will ever face.
Genomic Testing and Variant Interpretation Proficient in integrating next-generation sequencing, variant classification, and biochemical data into clear, actionable clinical management plans — making complex genomic reports usable for patients and referring physicians alike.
Ahmedabad, Gujarat — and Now Available Nationwide
Dr. Rajial’s base at Genexplore Diagnostics and Research Centre, Ahmedabad places her at the centre of Gujarat’s growing healthcare ecosystem. Through Genetidoc, that position becomes a national one — families across India can now access her expertise online, by appointment, without travelling to Ahmedabad or to any other city.
For families in Gujarat in particular, her availability on the platform means that a state of over 60 million people now has a qualified Clinical Geneticist who can be reached from any district, in Hindi or English, with sample collection arranged locally if testing is needed.
