Genetic technologists analyse chromosomes, DNA, and molecular markers to detect genetic disorders, mutations, and disease risk indicators. They prepare samples, run sequencing platforms, perform cytogenetic analysis, and document results for clinical or research use. Working in hospitals, genetic labs, fertility centres, and research institutions, they support diagnostics in oncology, prenatal testing, rare diseases, and personalised medicine. The global expansion of genomic medicine, molecular diagnostics, and high-throughput sequencing technologies has intensified demand for skilled technologists. Strong analytical skills, precision, and adherence to ethical and regulatory standards are essential in this highly specialised field.
