Ep19 - Clinical Bioinformatics, Behind the Scenes (Exclusive Episode)

Posted on Tuesday, Sep 29, 2020
In this first of its kind episode in the field, host Dr. Sabah Kadri assembled a panel of distinguished Clinical Bioinformatics Directors for this very special episode. Dr. Eric Klee (Mayo Clinic), Dr. Ahmet Zehir (Memorial Sloan Kettering) and Dr. Matthew Hestand (Cincinnati Children’s) talk about being leaders in the field, the challenges of hiring clinical bioinformaticians and some good training practices. You will get to know these scientists up close and personal with some fun daredevil questions posed by our host and walk away with many lessons. This is one fun ride!.
