The Mission
Precision oncology changes outcomes only when the right science reaches the right clinician at the right moment. At Datar Cancer Genetics, the Techno-Commercial Lead – Oncology sits at exactly that intersection — combining science, strategy, relationship-building and commercial ownership.
DCG's CellDx-Tissue is the first non-US comprehensive genomic profiling platform for both DNA and RNA to receive US FDA clearance and to be made available for cancer patients in India.
