Lab Operations

Operations Career Opportunities

Every patient sample is a story. That's why our Lab Ops team is focused on providing physicians with comprehensive genomic information about each person's cancer. Information that's as unique as the patients are. The insights discovered in our labs may help change their story.

Work with a team, and for a company, that is as passionate about rewriting those endings as you are.
