Oncology Genetics Lab Build-Outs
Specialized Laboratory Infrastructure for Cancer-Related Genetic Testing
Precision Lab Builds designs oncology genetics laboratory build-outs for healthcare organizations delivering genetic and genomic testing to support cancer diagnostics, treatment planning and research programs. These laboratories are built to support complex molecular and genomic workflows used in oncology-focused testing environments.
Oncology genetics labs often operate as high-complexity clinical laboratories, integrating molecular genetics, next generation sequencing (NGS) and advanced data interpretation workflows.
What Is an Oncology Genetics Laboratory?
An oncology genetics lab is a specialized laboratory environment designed to analyze genetic alterations associated with cancer. These labs support testing that evaluates inherited (germline) and acquired (somatic) genetic changes relevant to oncology care and clinical research.
Such laboratories typically function within broader clinical genomics or molecular diagnostics programs, requiring advanced infrastructure and strict regulatory alignment.
