Title: US_Scientist I_CO
Description: Description:
Our long term goal is to revolutionize clinical diagnostics through innovation of advanced molecular diagnostic methods facilitating personalized, proactive treatments that lead to improved patient outcomes. This is accomplished first by identifying specific clinical/scientific needs followed by the application of novel molecular technologies to address them. We tackle critical problems standing in the way of the routine clinical use of next generation sequencing (NGS) diagnostics in oncology, genetics, womens health, immunology, and infectious diseases worldwide. We work at the forefront of Research and Early Development to incorporate the latest technology advancements into new sequencing assays and applications. Our high-performance team is looking for new group members who share our drive and have advanced skill sets relevant to NGS, genomics, and bioinformatics. If you would like to work on challenging problems in NGS with the opportunity to invent new diagnostic methods, then this is the place for you.
