Gena Health Welcomes Dr Panieh Terraf, PhD, FACMG as Clinical Advisor
We are delighted to welcome Dr Panieh Terraf, PhD, FACMG as a Clinical Advisor to Gena Health.
Panieh is an Assistant Professor of Molecular Genetics and medical geneticist in the Department of Pathology at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center, New York, one of the leading cancer centres globally. She holds a PhD in Molecular Genetics and completed her ABMGG fellowship in Clinical Molecular Genetics and Clinical Cytogenetics at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston.
At MSK, Panieh specialises in cancer genomic diagnostics and the clinical interpretation of complex molecular and cytogenetic findings. Her work sits at the intersection of laboratory medicine and clinical care, where she interprets genomic data across both hereditary and somatic cancers and partners closely with oncologists and multidisciplinary teams to inform precise, patient-centered treatment decisions.
Her research is focused on thoughtfully translating emerging genomic technologies and biological insights into clinical diagnostics, with the goal of improving accuracy, accessibility, and outcomes in precision oncology.
Panieh's world leading expertise in precision diagnostics and molecular oncology, combined with her daily proximity to complex cancer cases at one of the world's foremost cancer institutions, makes her an invaluable voice as we continue to develop Gena Orbit, our clinician facing platform, and Gena Compass, its companion patient portal.
"For me, one of the most meaningful goals in oncology is to help democratize access to precision cancer care while improving the patient journey through what can often be an overwhelming and fragmented system. The promise of precision oncology is only truly realised when it can be translated into care that is accessible, thoughtful, and actionable for every patient. What resonates with me about Gena is its commitment to reducing complexity for clinicians and, in turn, helping create a more seamless, informed, and patient-centered experience. I’m grateful to be part of a mission that aims to meaningfully improve both care delivery and patient outcomes."
- Dr Panieh Terraf, PhD, FACMG
“Panieh brings a unique insight to Gena through her pioneering work in the precision diagnostics and molecular oncology space. This is also paired with a deep and incredibly meaningful commitment to the wider patient population. It is a true privilege to shape and evolve the clinical direction of our organisation alongside Panieh.”
- Rob Ballantine, Co-Founder & COO Gena Health
We are incredibly proud that Panieh has joined our growing advisory function as we work tirelessly to reduce the hyper fragmentation, complexity and inequity in cancer care and ensure oncology care teams have the tools they need to deliver the best possible outcomes for their patients.
