Precision at the Point of Diagnosis: The Role of Genomic Tests in Personalized Pathology - with Jay Jhaveri

Welcome to PathPulse, the Digital Diagnostic podcast! In this episode, "Precision at the Point of Diagnosis: The Role of Genomic Tests in Personalized Pathology," host James Thackeray is joined by Jay Jhaveri to explore the transformative impact of genomic testing on modern diagnostics.

Jay Jhaveri is the Senior Director at Pacific Edge Cancer Diagnostics. His extensive background uniquely positions him at the intersection of clinical practice and diagnostic innovation. Jay earned his MD in 2006 and pursued a rich clinical and research path including general surgery, a fellowship in prostate cancer outcomes research at Weill Cornell, a men's health fellowship, a Master's of Public Health in epidemiology and biostatistics, a urology residency at UC Irvine, and a fellowship in clinical minimally invasive urologic surgery. He also became an associate-certified professional coder. Jay transitioned from clinical medicine to the industry, applying his deep medical knowledge to roles in medical affairs, clinical development, health economics, and outcomes research.

This episode delves into the shift from traditional pathology, which primarily focuses on the morphological examination of tissues, to precision pathology, which leverages genomic and transcriptomic signatures for personalized diagnoses. Jay Jhaveri explains how understanding specific genetic mutations and biomarkers can lead to more accurate risk stratification and tailored patient management. Tune in to understand how genomic insights are reshaping the landscape of pathology and patient care.
