What is a clinical genomic scientist?

Clinical genomic scientists are healthcare professionals who analyze and interpret genetic and genomic data to assist in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating patients with genetic disorders. They work in laboratories and use advanced technologies, such as DNA sequencing, to identify genetic variants that may impact a person’s health. Their findings help doctors make informed medical decisions and may also guide treatment options for inherited conditions or certain cancers. Clinical genomic scientists often collaborate with genetic counselors, physicians, and researchers to ensure accurate and meaningful results.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a clinical genomic scientist?

To thrive as a Clinical Genomic Scientist, you need a strong background in genetics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics, typically supported by an advanced degree in a relevant field. Familiarity with next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, variant analysis software, and clinical laboratory standards like CLIA or CAP certification is essential. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective communication are vital soft skills for interpreting data and collaborating with healthcare teams. These competencies ensure accurate genomic analysis, informed clinical decisions, and high standards of patient care.

What challenges do clinical genomic scientists face when interpreting complex genetic data?

Clinical Genomic Scientists often encounter challenges such as distinguishing between benign and pathogenic genetic variants, especially when evidence is limited or conflicting. They must also stay updated with rapidly evolving genomic databases and guidelines to ensure accurate interpretations. Collaboration with genetic counselors, laboratory staff, and clinicians is essential to resolve ambiguous cases and ensure that reports are clinically meaningful. Additionally, managing large volumes of sequencing data requires strong analytical and computational skills.

The Clinical Genomics Scientist II analyzes clinical genetics data, curates variants and genes, and summarizes findings for clinical reports. Our scientists assist laboratory directors and R&D with validation of cutting-edge technologies and software platforms.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Curation (50%): curation of variants, genes, and gene-disease correlation following ACMG guidelines.
  • Analysis (30%): analyzing clinical genomics data, selecting variants for curation/confirmation, variant nomenclature following HGVS guidelines.
  • Other (20%): may involve clinical report drafting, test validation, process refinement, presenting findings, monitoring test turnaround time and task delegation.

QUALIFICATIONS
Required
  • PhD or MD in clinical medicine, genetics, molecular biology or equivalent.

Or
  • Strong candidates with a Master's degree and relevant experience.
  • 2-4 years of variant curation experience.

Preferred
  • MB(ASCP) certification.

COMPETENCIES
  • Familiarity with American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) variant curation guidelines.
  • Knowledge of genomic variation and its correlation with human disease.
  • Expertise in concepts of clinical medicine, genetics, genomics, or molecular biology.
  • Experience in data quality assessment and communicating genetic details effectively.
  • Excellence in reading and writing medical language.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook).
  • Desired: experience in bioinformatics analysis, variant effect prediction algorithms, and scripting languages.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS AND WORK ENVIRONMENT
  • Frequently required to sit, using screen, keyboard, and mouse.
  • Punctuality attending virtual meetings.
  • Occasional weekend rotation may be needed (for example, once a month).
