@marielahernandez
Clinical Trials Data Specialist passionate about precision medicine and data analysis.
What I'm looking for
I am a Clinical Trials Data Specialist with a strong background in bioinformatics and data analysis. My experience at Tempus AI has allowed me to analyze patient medical histories and molecular testing results, identifying personalized clinical trial matches that support precision medicine initiatives. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with pathologists, variant scientists, and product teams to refine clinical reporting processes and ensure alignment across technical and clinical objectives.
In my previous role as a Clinical Lab Associate, I processed and verified oncology and neurology genetic testing orders, ensuring data integrity and compliance with HIPAA standards. My commitment to enhancing internal documentation systems has led to optimized patient data entry protocols, improving accuracy across processing operations. I also have research experience from my time at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, where I contributed to experimental design and imaging studies, linking structural and physiological insights through advanced biomedical imaging systems.
