About Eliane Cortez
Medical Affairs professional with deep expertise in clinical and precision genomics, working at the intersection of cancer molecular diagnostics, genomics, and clinical oncology. My work focuses on translating complex genomic and biomarker data into clear, medically meaningful insights that support patient care and clinical decision‑making. Over the past several years, I have served as a subject‑matter expert leading the interpretation of next‑generation sequencing data for complex cancer cases, providing clinically grounded genomic insights to global multidisciplinary teams. My experience spans global genomics programs and oncology education initiatives, including Molecular Tumor Boards, peer‑to‑peer clinician support, and scientific training programs.More recently, I have expanded my scope into outcomes‑ and data‑driven research, contributing to analyses of large clinico‑genomic datasets to generate real‑world oncology insights. I value collaborative, cross‑functional work and enjoy communicating complex scientific concepts in a clear, practical, and clinically relevant way.I am bilingual in English and Portuguese and bring a strong foundation in translational cancer research across both academic and industry settings.
