Medical Data Associate

About us:

Lucence is a pioneering precision oncology company with a bold vision: a world where cancer is defeated through early detection and timely treatment. Our cutting-edge liquid biopsy tests use advanced molecular profiling to guide personalized cancer therapies, transforming how cancer is diagnosed and treated. At Lucence, we are shaping the future of precision medicine by capturing both genetic and cellular data from a single blood draw, bringing us closer to our mission of overcoming cancer.

Key responsibilities:

• Based on an in-depth understanding of Lucence's technology and product portfolio and medical science, interpreting genomic alterations in appropriate clinical contexts and reporting (for both clinical and research samples) results accurately and timely following established procedures.
• Working closely with the Medical Data Science team in the curation and maintenance of database - evaluating scientific publications/clinical studies and integrating functional effects of genomic variants and their associated diseases using standard terminologies and established guidelines.
• Writing, maintaining, and updating workflows and protocols for clinical reporting pipeline.
• Participating in research-oriented projects for clinical validation of tests (in collaboration with external organizations).
• Participating in internal and external quality assurance programs.
• Performing other relevant duties as assigned.

To be a good fit for this role, you would have:

At least a degree in Pharmaceutical Science, Biomedical Science, Life Sciences or its equivalent.

• Familiarity/good understanding in molecular techniques, genetics and NGS applications. Prior experience in research/clinical, in the field of cancer biology/genetics is a plus.
• Good communication and presentation skills and an ability to write short summary reports.
• The ability to work independently as well as in a team.
• Exceptional attention to detail.
• Flexibility in working on weekends, public holidays, from 8 am to 6 pm, based on staff rosters.
• Strong self-motivation, resilience, adaptability, and a keen interest in learning.

The following will also be a plus:

1. Knowledge in genomic medicine and liquid biopsy; and
2. Fluency in variant annotation and interpretation and use of genome databases such as COSMIC, ClinVar, Varsome, Ensembl and OncoKB; and
3. Ability to interpret genomic data in patient- and treatment-specific contexts following established procedures.
