Career Path
Genomic Data Analyst (35%)
Genomic data analysts are in high demand as they can help organizations make sense of complex genetic data. Their responsibilities include processing, interpreting, and visualizing genomic data for research or clinical purposes. Familiarity with bioinformatics tools, statistical analysis, and programming languages like R and Python is essential in this role.
Bioinformatician (25%)
Bioinformaticians integrate biology, computer science, and information technology to analyze and interpret complex biological data. They develop algorithms, software, and databases to support research in genomics, proteomics, and other molecular biology fields. Strong programming skills, along with a solid understanding of biology and genetics, are required for this role.
Genetic Counselor (20%)
Genetic counselors work closely with healthcare providers and patients to assess and explain genetic risks. They interpret genetic test results, provide genetic counseling, and help patients make informed decisions about their healthcare. A master's degree in genetic counseling and eligibility for certification from the American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC) are typically required for this role.
Epidemiologist (20%)
Epidemiologists investigate patterns and causes of diseases in populations. They use data analysis, surveillance, and research to identify trends, risk factors, and potential interventions for infectious and non-infectious diseases. A master's or doctoral degree in epidemiology or a related field is usually required for this role.
