Career : Laboratory Geneticist

Currently considering careers related to genetics. I haven't read all the links yet. Significant updates will be posted.

Laboratory Geneticist

Source 1.* Research and study the inheritance of traits at the molecular, organism or population level. May evaluate or treat patients with genetic disorders.

Source 2.** Application of modern genetic technology to agriculture, legal or police work, pharmaceutical development, and clinical medicine requires the services of sophisticated laboratories. These laboratories are staffed by scientists trained inmolecular biology,cytogenetics, biochemical genetics, immunogenetics, and related disciplines. Genetic laboratory directors usually hold Ph.D. degrees or M.D. degrees with specialization in laboratory medicine. Most individuals becoming genetic laboratory technologists have four to six years of university education. Some genetic laboratories require their staff to have specific training and certification in cytogenetic or medical technology. Other genetic laboratories hire people with any relevant B.S. or M.S. degree as long as they can show an aptitude for the detailed technical and clinically important work being performed. The career of a laboratory geneticist offers the opportunity to apply genetics "hands on" to a variety of important problems.
