The position is attached to the Département diagnostique (https://www.hug.ch/departement-diagnostique). This department, composed of nine medical services, has the mission to provide diagnostics, therapeutic products, therapeutic acts, and specialized clinical consultations, of high medical quality, in the shortest possible time and at an acceptable cost, to guide the care of female and male patients and contribute to therapeutic decisions and actions.

The medical genetics service is a service that is both clinical, with consultations, and a laboratory. It mainly deals with genetic and therapeutic counseling to patients after genetic analyses using notably modern methods of cytogenetics and high-throughput sequencing. The services offered mainly ensure the diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction of hereditary diseases. The service also has research missions (http://www.hug-ge.ch/pathologie-clinique/axes-de-recherche) and teaching missions (http://www.hug-ge.ch/pathologie-clinique/formation-pre-graduee).

The Molecular Diagnostic and Genomics laboratory is an accredited laboratory that performs analyses by classical and modern molecular methods in the search for hereditary anomalies through the exploration of genes and the genome, including notably classical or high-throughput sequencing of exome and whole-genome DNA.

The Cytogenomics laboratory (conventional, hematological, and molecular cytogenetics) is an accredited laboratory that performs analyses by QF-PCR, conventional karyotype, fluorescence in situ hybridization, molecular karyotyping by DNA chip and array (SNP or CGH), and by optical genome mapping (OGM) in the field of constitutional and onco-hematological diseases.
