Where do cytogeneticists work?

Cytogeneticists work in laboratories within hospitals, medical clinics, and healthcare facilities alongside other medical specialists, like molecular geneticists and hematologists. Despite the option to work in a clinical setting, you rarely interact directly with patients and instead gain information about them from their blood or other bodily fluid samples, which are collected by a lab technician, nurse, or physician. Cytogeneticists involved in research also work in a lab setting, but typically within universities or private research centers.
