Molecular Technologist - $20/hr
Seeking an experienced Molecular Technologist to join a growing and innovative team! With the invention of genomic sequencing, we can finally understand and process our genetic makeup. We now have more data than ever before but providers don't have the infrastructure or expertise to make sense of said data. We believe the greatest promise for the detection and treatment of cancer lies in the deep understanding of molecular activity for disease initiation, progression, and efficacious treatment based on the discovery of unique biomarkers.
