Ms. Hiller currently works in clinical genomics and variant interpretation at Invitae in hereditary cancer, cardiogenetics, and immunogenetics. Prior to that, she was a member of the variant science team at Quest Diagnostics.
Ms. Hiller was a clinical genetic counselor at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute where she also served in various research roles, including in a study of integration of tumor and germline exome findings into clinical oncology care. She helped establish and counseled in an outreach clinic to bring cancer genetics care to an underserved Boston population. Ms. Hiller also taught human genetics in the Brandeis University genetic counseling program.
