At Guardant Health, we are committed to positively and significantly impacting patient health through technology breakthroughs that address long-standing unmet needs in oncology. As the leader in the field of liquid biopsy, Guardant Health has collected cancer genomic data from over 100,000 patients and is looking for bioinformatics scientists excited about analyzing genetic and epigenetic signals in this data to enable breakthroughs in cancer patient care by developing an assay for detection of cancer at an early stage. We are working at the forefront of scientific and technological developments with emphasis on results that enable clinical impact on real patients and you will contribute to this effort.
Here are some of our recent published results:
and the press release about the launch of 10,000-patient trial for evaluating the clinical impact of LUNAR blood test to detect colorectal cancer on average-risk population:
