Sohnee Ahmed is a board-certified genetic counselor and variant analyst involved in genetic analysis and report writing for whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing, and panel tests. She graduated from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Science, specializing in Genetics & Biotechnology with a minor in Anthropology. She then attended Wayne State University to achieve a Master of Science degree in Genetic Counseling. Following graduation, Sohnee was recruited to the University of Rochester in New York State, where she was a joint faculty member in the Departments of Neurology and Medicine and provided in-person genetic counselling to adults, parents, and families regarding cancer genetics alongside adult and pediatric neurology. While there, she established the first regional Adult Neurogenetics clinic, a Child Neurology Neurogenetics Consultation service, the first multidisciplinary Hereditary Ataxia program in upstate New York, and she also helped develop Lynch syndrome (HNPCC) universal screening within the hospital system and community. She then returned home to Toronto and joined the Division of Clinical & Metabolic Genetics at The Hospital for Sick Children, specializing in Pediatric Neurogenetics and teaching and supervising Masters students through the Genetic Counselling MSc program at the University of Toronto. She joined GeneDx in 2016 and began working remotely, providing variant interpretations to healthcare providers that order genetic testing through GeneDx. Most recently, Sohnee shifted her focus to be between report writing on the Neurology and Clinical Genomics teams and performing variant analysis for whole exome and whole genome sequencing cases.

Sohnee was previously the President of the Canadian Association of Genetic Counsellors (CAGC-ACCG) and currently is an active member of the CAGC and its American counterpart, the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC). She also spends her time mentoring prospective and current genetic counseling students who identify as minorities in medicine.
