Passionate, Proactive, Determined

GRAIL’s team sets lofty goals for its products, which require the unique talents and perspectives of every employee. Take one eight-month study that Associate Director Ting Ma worked on, parsing data from a GRAIL-sponsored clinical trial. Due to the volume of data, teamwork was imperative to define and implement clinical features, refine codes with robust test cases and tweak them as continuous feedback rolled in. The work is important, but that's not the only plus: “Cross-functional team collaboration is fun,” Ma said. “You get to learn so much while contributing to each project.”

There’s a reason top talent, like Associate Biostatistical Director Ying Luan, joins GRAIL. “Here, I knew I could have the opportunity to contribute to the development of innovative analysis methodologies,” Luan said. She’s now working on a diagnostic aid project, planning and designing validation for clinical studies. It’s a new area for her, but there’s plenty of support for learning new skills at the company: With resources like LinkedIn Learning, workshops and conferences, she finds footing in the field, while diversity and inclusion trainings connect her fully to GRAIL’s culture.
