Cancer Genomics Scientist

A Cancer Genomics Scientist is a professional who specializes in studying the DNA sequence and gene expression differences between tumor cells and natural host cells. They utilize chemical examination of cellular DNA to identify genetic changes and classify various types of cancer. With their scientific, technical, and clinical knowledge, Cancer Genomics Scientists analyze and interpret the results of routine and complex tests conducted by other laboratory members. They also write comprehensive interpretive reports for clinicians and healthcare professionals who have requested tests, providing them with advice on investigation strategies. Additionally, these scientists develop new investigation strategies considering the clinical problems of genetic diseases and the clinical relevance of inherited or acquired genetic abnormalities. They actively participate in research and development, translating new techniques and assays into routine diagnostic services. Cancer Genomics Scientists also handle inquiries related to genomic testing and offer expert scientific advice to clinical colleagues and other healthcare professionals. They interpret quality control and quality assurance data and engage in continued professional development (CPD). General Responsibilities: 1.
