We are looking for a Genomic Pathologist to join our dynamic healthcare team. As a Genomic Pathologist, you will play a critical role in the interpretation and integration of genomic data into clinical practice. Your expertise will guide the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of various diseases, particularly those with a genetic or molecular basis such as cancer, rare inherited disorders, and complex multifactorial conditions. You will collaborate closely with clinicians, laboratory scientists, genetic counselors, and researchers to ensure that genomic information is accurately interpreted and effectively communicated to both healthcare providers and patients. Key responsibilities include reviewing and interpreting next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, preparing detailed pathology reports, and participating in multidisciplinary case discussions. You will also contribute to the development and validation of new genomic assays, maintain up-to-date knowledge of advances in genomic medicine, and ensure compliance with regulatory and quality standards. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in pathology and molecular genetics, excellent analytical and communication skills, and a commitment to advancing precision medicine. This role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of medical innovation, impacting patient care through personalized medicine and contributing to research that shapes the future of healthcare.
