Full disclosure: I work for Counsyl. (In fact, if you watch the video at the bottom of the article, I'm the second speaker.)<p>The cool thing (well, one of many) about Counsyl is that there are a lot more things going on than pure biology and bioinformatics. Making genomics truly accessible is a software challenge that goes way beyond bioinformatics. There's obviously statistics, machine learning, and robotics running the lab; however, even more problems are pure <i>engineering</i> tasks. For example:<p>- How do you design the UI/UX around presenting data on 100 genes which can cause severe illness, but which most doctors (let alone patients) have never heard of?<p>- How do you efficiently accept orders from clinics across the nation, using a mix of web, paper, and EMR (electronic medical records) systems? (For bonus credit: deal with EMRs shipping fresh today on Windows 3.1. For double bonus credit: figure out how to bypass that ancient cruft and bring clinics into the 21st century.)<p>- How do you bill insurance companies when it can be opaque to even find out which insurance company pays for a given patient's procedures?<p>- How can you share data with the scientific community in as open a way as possible, without compromising patient privacy?<p>There's a huge amount of work to be done, so if you're interested in helping out, give us a look: <a href="https://www.counsyl.com/jobs/" rel="nofollow">https://www.counsyl.com/jobs/</a>.
