Specialist, Molecular Pathology

Work closely with the Department of Anatomical Pathology as the lead

scientist in Molecular Pathology to identify and recommend opportunities

leading to the discovery of tumor related genes/pathways to further

advance tumor profiling and guide clinical therapeutic drug regiments.

Play a lead role in the mentoring of junior staff, students, and

residents with molecular theory, concept, and experimental approaches.

• Aid department academic activity, by mentoring Fellows/Resident and

Medical Students in various research projects from concept/design to

providing support in publication. - Integrate high dimensional data to

identify genes/pathways pertinent to tumor development and possible

treatments; discovery and implementation of new techniques to accelerate

the use of next generation sequencing for tumor fingerprinting. -Apply

technical experience at each step of the scientific method to facilitate

successful execution of experiments in a safe, effective, and

reproducible manner. -Resolve inter-disciplinary problems utilizing

scientific analytical skills, with a strong interest in the pursuit of

scientific discovery with emphasis on personalized medicine.

• Independently develop policies, procedures, and quality control systems

to support any new areas of clinical testing. Experience with molecular

diagnostic test development and implementation is a must. -Interface

with various departments and research staff to collaborate and arrange

plans of action for new clinical testing that may support ongoing or

future clinical trials. -Prepare a program to train and assure

competence of technologists in theory, hands on technique, and

interpretation of results for newly developed assays offered to

clinicians. -Participate in performance improvement initiatives and

demonstrate the use of quality improvement in daily operations. -Perform

detailed computations using bioinformatic tools such as those used in

gene profiling, DNA sequence analysis, primer design and other nucleic

acid-related computer programs to interpret prepare raw data for

interpretation. -Maintain a high level of technical expertise by

participating in scientific conferences, mining through publications and

literature, and staying alert to new emerging trends in hospital

laboratories. -Maintain a broad range of advance expertise in molecular

science in order to perform innovative and original clinical and/or

scientific research at the highest levels. -Ensure preventative

maintenance for equipment in assigned area. Perform complex

troubleshooting, repair, and modification of a wide range of complex

equipment and instrumentation. -Follow established protocols to perform

various tests, including the most complex molecular testing. Provide

training, guidance and consultation to Medical Technologist I and IIs in

the performance and interpretation of complex diagnostic tests. -Develop

draft standard operating procedures for new procedures for review by

manager; edit existing procedures for review by manager. - Comply with

established departmental policies, procedures and objectives. -Attend

variety of meetings, conferences, seminars as required or directed. -

Demonstrate use of Quality Improvement in daily operations. - Comply

with all health and safety regulations and requirements. Req.'s:
