clinical director/manager

Explanation:
In medical laboratories generally there are two directors. One is the administrative director (or rarely administrative manager) and the other one is the clinical director or sometimes clinical manager. The former takes care of the the business task, and the latter handles the medical tasks. In huge laboratories there might be more diversification, like clinical director, histology or clinical director, epidemiology, but in these cases the specialty is indicated after the title. I don't know of any huge labs in Hungary that would diversify laboratory staff's job titles to this extent. The clinical director will work.
