Genomic Data Scientist (40HR, Remote))
Company OverviewThis is an exciting time to join our dynamic organization.
OPKO Health is a diversified healthcare company that seeks to establish industry-leading positions in large, rapidly growing markets, including pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and biologics.
OPKO's diagnostics business includes BioReference Laboratories, the nation's third-largest and fastest growing clinical laboratory over the last 35 years, which provides diagnostic testing to physician offices, hospitals, and clinics, among others, and GeneDx, a rapidly growing genetics and genomics laboratory that applies cutting edge technologies to make efficient clinical diagnostic testing and interpretation available for individuals with rare and common genetic conditions.
Come join our team and become part of something big, by making our patients and customers the highest priority.
Job DescriptionGeneDx is a patient-centric health information company committed to revolutionizing healthcare and changing lives by unlocking the answers from within.
With more than 20 years of expertise in diagnosing rare disorders and diseases, we have pioneered panels, exome and whole genome sequencing and have developed a proprietary genomic interpretation and information services platform in support of healthcare partners and patients globally.
We create, follow, and are informed by cutting-edge science and technology.
With one of the most sophisticated datasets of genomic information, we are able to identify new disease-causing genes, advancing the field of medicine through the detection, discovery, and diagnosis of genetic diseases.
PurposeWe operate with conviction that what is best for our customers (patients, their families and the clinicians, payers and partners who serve them) must be embedded in every aspect of our work.
At GeneDx we believe:
genomic information has broad utility and every person should have access to their genome delivered expertly, ethically and responsibly to guide health decisions throughout life;the transition from hypothesis-based to genome-guided healthcare will improve outcomes for patients and the healthcare system that benefit society as a whole;genomics will radically transform therapeutic development, bringing better therapies to patients, faster; andpatients should control and have the ability to direct the use of their genomic information to benefit both themselves and advance scientific understanding that helps others.
In support of these beliefs, we value:
Equitability:
the right of all to have access to information that can improve their health and are committed to closing gaps in health disparities;Simplicity:
Healthcare is complicated.
Genetic information is complex.
Our job is to make it as simple as possible to access an answer that improves health outcomes.
We value the understanding simplicity creates; Transparency:
paramount to our success is transparency and accountability for ourselves and our partners to safeguard the confidence and trust of our patients, customers, partners and shareholders.
Through this value system we aim to revolutionize healthcare and change lives by unlocking the answers from within; bringing better health from genomics to patients around the world.
GeneDx is seeking a Data ScientistGeneDx is a rapidly growing CAP and CLIA certified diagnostic genetic testing laboratory for molecular genetics.
Our historic mission has been to make clinical diagnostic testing available for people with genetic conditions and their families.
We apply cutting edge technologies that provide a wide array of molecular genetic diagnostic tests, including whole exome sequencing and next-generation sequencing panels.
We specialize in genetic testing for rare hereditary disorders, but also test for common disorders.
