About the role

Thermo Fisher Scientific – a world-leading player in Life Sciences driving the development of diagnostics forward and contributing to better health globally. In Uppsala, the ImmunoDiagnostics division is located, one of the company's central hubs for the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of advanced in vitro diagnostic tests for allergies, asthma, and autoimmune diseases.
