Doctoral research and scientific background.

ICMR-NIN’s 2020–21 annual report lists K.B. Chathyushya’s doctoral research on the human breast-milk microbiome under Dr. Hemalatha R. It records research during that reporting period, rather than a current role or the university and date that awarded the degree.

Research in nutrition and microbiology.

A 2021 paper lists K.B. Chathyushya as first author on work investigating human-milk Lactobacillus isolates and their probiotic potential. The author affiliation is Clinical Epidemiology, ICMR-National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad. This supports a research association at the time of that publication.

A 2023 cross-sectional study compares the composition of term and preterm human milk across socioeconomic groups. Together, these records provide a specific research context in nutrition-related life sciences. They do not establish the effectiveness of a Café Manna meal programme.

Selected publication records.

A dated research record.

The records above document doctoral research during 2020–21 and publications in 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2026. They provide specific experience in microbiology, human-nutrition research and food-contact exposure, rather than an inferred total number of professional years.

Personalised and precision nutrition are part of Café Manna’s scientific direction. That direction should be distinguished from a verified clinical-genetics qualification or an available genetic-testing service.

What the institutional association means.

The ICMR-NIN affiliation above is a historical attribution on a published paper. It is not a claim of current employment, institutional endorsement, restaurant certification or approval of Café Manna’s services.

Research authorship should also be distinguished from medical registration, dietetic credentials or clinical genetic-counselling qualifications. This profile does not claim those professional titles.

How the research context connects to Café Manna.

The brand’s direction combines everyday meals with personalised nutrition and thoughtful education. Its food philosophy separates dietary guidance, traditional Prakriti concepts and emerging precision-nutrition research.
