Joerg Bredno

Principal Scientist, Computational Biology and Interpretation

WIDEN YOUR SCOPE

A huge data set with an even bigger impact

“Cancer is a nasty, diverse disease that can affect widely different regions in the genome,” Principal Scientist Joerg Bredno said, and understanding how and why cells change isn’t easy. Luckily, his team works with more than 12 petabytes of molecular data — which translates to more than 1 million gigabytes — and a high-performance scientific computing environment that can handle analysis at that scale. With these tools, Bredno’s team is building an even larger training data set for the next generation of GRAIL’s early detection, multi-cancer screening test, slated to roll out this year.

It is rewarding that we can see, learn and share relevant insights from our data that so far doesn't exist anywhere else in the world in this form.

Ting Ma

Associate Director, Data Engineering

ACCELERATE TOGETHER

A team united by passion, fueled by collaboration

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.”

GRAIL is taking on a challenge that is unprecedented. It can only become successful when people with different expertise collaborate deeply.

Ying Luan

Associate Biostatistical Director

UNCOVER NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Sharp talent, perpetually looking to learn more

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.

Post-launch activities and payer’s reimbursement were new to me when I joined GRAIL. But now, I’m learning new things on a daily basis with different stakeholders in mind.
