Claritas Genomics is a CLIA-certified genetic diagnostic testing company that combines the power of genetic analysis technology with the clinical expertise of the world’s best pediatric specialists to inform and improve patient care. Claritas offers a range of services that take the guesswork out of test ordering and support clinicians as they navigate an increasingly complex landscape of genetic diagnostics. Our interpretive services are based on the most up-to-date and reliable findings and our reports are designed to clearly communicate this complex information. Originally Boston Children’s Hospital’s CLIA-certified molecular testing laboratory, and launched as an independent CLIA laboratory in February 2013, we have comprehensive tests, with new next-generation sequencing-based services being added to our menu on a regular basis.
We seek a visionary leader to develop and oversee the execution of a plan to build and integrate the genomic and clinical information software and bioinformatics tools necessary for a full-service pediatric molecular diagnostics business. The successful candidate will act decisively to implement solutions and information systems that enable the delivery of next-generation diagnostic services to improve the health of children. The individual has the opportunity to impact the field of next generation sequencing by developing and implementing powerful, platform-agnostic tools that are integrated into a clinical laboratory setting. More importantly, these tools will enable the empowerment of patients and families with clinically-relevant information that informs medical care, and will help bring the use of complex genomics into clinical use. The individual will work as a member of the executive team in a dynamic and collaborative environment and will have the opportunity to collaborate with clinical, research and informatics experts at the best pediatric hospitals in the country.
