Careers in diagnostic genomics: diverse qualifications and pathways
WEBINAR RECORDING (Co-hosted with InGeNA on 7 September 2023)
- One-hour webinar recording
- Hear from people working in the field –what they do, how they got there, and what they look for in new hires
- For graduate students or those working in data science who want to hear about careers in genomics
The use of genomics in healthcare is increasing rapidly as the cost and speed of genome sequencing reduce.
This requires a new workforce, upskilled in genomics, to help meet demand. From clinicians knowing how to use the right test, for the right patient, at the right time, to medical scientists knowing how to curate, interpret and classify variants, through to bioinformaticians and other types of data scientists being able to create and continuously refine the pipelines and software to handle and curate big data.
In this webinar, we heard from three people working at the interface of genomics and bioinformatics. Different qualifications and career pathways, each contributing to the implementation of genomics into healthcare.
We also briefly outlined some of the Melbourne Genomics education programs available in clinical variant interpretation.
Whether you’re wanting to get started in translational research, curating big data in a clinical, diagnostic or research setting, or just curious about careers and opportunities in genomics there is something in this webinar recording for you.
