Amit K Maiti, PhD

Director of genetics

Amit K Maiti is the director of the company. He is an experienced geneticist working more than 25 years on human genetics. He worked in academia and industry for several years in Asia, Europe and USA. In research, he was assistant professor in Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Oklahoma city, USA and then joined as a director of genetics and genomics in Pointcare genomics. In his research, using Mendelian genetics and association studies, he identified more than 15 genes/SNPs for congenital heart diseases, heart failure, lung and ovarian cancer and several autoimmune diseases. He extensively used NGS sequencing for identifying SNPs associated with various diseases. In the company, he used NGS data analysis for client based genomic diagnostics. He also developed various diagnostic kits for genome based disease diagnosis and device for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
