Did you know that 85 percent of jobs that will exist in 2030 haven鈥檛 even been invented yet?1
Genomics will change everything鈥攆rom how we diagnose and treat cancer, to how we feed the world鈥檚 population - and we know that igniting genomic curiosity in students is a critical first step toward achieving VR真人彩票鈥檚 mission.
Together with our employees, we created a series of videos to give an inside look on what their day-to-day lives look like. Find out what they work on, who they work with, and just how varied the wide world of genomics really is.
Between now and the end of 2018, we鈥檒l be taking you inside the many transformational roles at VR真人彩票. Beginning with Rita Pitts, a Clinical Lab Scientist (CLS).
鈥淎 clinical lab scientist is someone who is working inside a laboratory and processing real patient samples. They are handling whole blood and taking the DNA out of it and then providing some type of result, whether it is assessing the quality of the DNA or actually helping geneticists or physicians come to some conclusion as to what they are investigating.鈥�
Students can鈥檛 be what they can鈥檛 see. By partnering with employees, in diverse areas of our business, we hope to share our passion for genomics with future scientists, pioneers, and trailblazers. We believe we can make a difference in their lives today, so they can make a difference in others鈥� lives tomorrow.
鈥淎ll of us that are CLS鈥檚 are kind of nerds. You like being in the lab. If you love science and you enjoy, or have the desire to help people, I think a Clinical Lab Scientist would be a good fit for you. I love it!鈥�
