Clinical Laboratory Interests
The Clinical Genetics Laboratory offers molecular diagnostic testing for
inherited disorders to identify gene alterations and provide better medical
management options that can reduce risk by prevention or early detection.
In addition, the laboratory is involved in developing new diagnostic genetic
tests and updating current tests with new methodologies.
Biography
Cindy Yee, Ph.D., specializes in cancer genetics and molecular diagnostics.
Yee received her undergraduate degree from the University of Pittsburgh
and her Doctor of Philosophy degree in cellular and molecular pathology
at Vanderbilt University. She continued her scientific laboratory training
as a postdoctoral fellow and a research associate in the Department of
Surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Yee then accepted the
position of assistant attending molecular geneticist in the Department
of Medicine and became the assistant director of the Diagnostic Molecular
Genetics Laboratory. She came to Savannah to supervise and direct the
day-to-day operation of the Clinical Genetics Laboratory and to certify
genetic test results. Yee has published 18 peer-reviewed manuscripts and
several abstracts. She is working with colleague Ranjan Perera, Ph.D.,
to develop new molecular diagnostic tests and to improve current tests.
