【Job summary】

We are opening for both junior and senior genetic counselor to join the Medical Informatics group. In ACT Genomics, a GC is responsible for running daily WES/WGS genomic data analysis, identifying clinically-relevant variants with hereditary cancer, rare disease and genetic disorders, generating, and providing and discussing the genomic test report with the ordering physician to help inform decision making. This is a very interdisciplinary role that involves collaboration with the internal laboratory scientists, bioinformatics and data science teams, R&D scientists, and sales team.

【Responsibilities and Duties】

1. WGS Data Analysis:

• Understand and interpret whole genome sequencing data, including variants (such as point mutations, insertions/deletions, structural variations) and their potential impact on health.

• Screen and prioritize gene variants that may be related to diseases based on clinical context and family history.

• Integrate other genetic information (such as family history and phenotypic data) for a comprehensive assessment.

2. Report Generation:

• Generate clear and detailed genetic reports outlining discovered gene variants and their clinical significance.

• Explain complex genetic information in simple, understandable language to physicians and patients.

• Provide recommendations on diagnosis, prognosis, the associated cancer risk, and medical management based on current scientific evidence and guidelines.

3. Discussion with Physicians:

• Work closely with physicians to discuss genome analysis results and their clinical implications.

• Address physicians’ questions regarding report content, the clinical significance of gene variants, and recommendations for further testing.

4. Other duties as assigned.
