Dr. Vivek Rathi (MD, MHSc, FRCPA)

Group Medical Director & Molecular Pathologist
[email protected]

Dr. Vivek Rathi is a molecular and anatomical pathologist, and a fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia. After obtaining his FRCPA in 2012,

Vivek worked for 8 years as a staff pathologist at St. Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne, where in 2014 he established one of the very first NATA accredited molecular laboratories in Australia offering next generation sequencing tests for cancer patients.

At Monash Health, Vivek was instrumental in the introduction of multiple highly sought-after molecular tests.

Vivek has keen interest in molecular assay design, validation, and quality control. His dual qualification as an anatomical and molecular pathologist enables him to tackle high level translational research challenges including spatial genomics,

understanding complex interactions between tumour and microenvironment, disease heterogeneity, gene expression and cancer pathway profiling.

Dr. Rathi is an adjunct senior lecturer at Monash University and has an on-going involvement in many clinical translational research projects.
