The Senior Medical Science Liaison will be responsible to help the implementation of the Medical Affairs Team strategic plan and activities for the Clinical Sequencing Division (CSD) at Thermo Fisher Scientific. By providing the most effective sequencing solutions within the clinical and translational research space the CDS is effectively enabling Precision Medicine across the major healthcare providers globally. While we want to continue expanding our clinal reach by supporting clinical validity/utility studies and by generating in-country evidence as well as at the international level, we seek to ameliorate our understanding of the fast-evolving molecular diagnostics field. To that end, the Senior Medical Science Liaison will design and deploy a focused strategy to sustain our Division growth within the pathology and oncology medical domains. Collaborations with Pharma partners and peer-to-peer medical educational activities will be another essential goal of this figure.
