Today, on National STEM Day, help us celebrate the remarkable achievements of the middle school scientists and engineers who were awarded over $100,000 in prizes for their groundbreaking research and innovations at this year’s Thermo Fisher Scientific #JuniorInnovators Challenge. From a water filtration system built with animal bone waste to a chemical “nose” trained with machine learning to detect food allergens and so much more, these outstanding students are tackling global challenges with ingenuity and inventive thinking. Thermo Fisher is proud to work with Society for Science to support and inspire this next generation of #STEM leaders. Thanks to these young minds, the future is bright. ??

This week, I had the privilege of meeting with Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey. We had a very productive discussion about the current business climate, the state’s biomedical ecosystem and the long-term benefits of advancing the life sciences industry in Massachusetts. We also talked about the importance of a strong STEM education system, as well as the role of our region’s academic medical centers and institutions of higher learning in fueling discovery and Innovation and developing the next generation of talent. The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on scientific discovery – and on nearly every aspect of our lives – was also a key topic of conversation. It goes without saying that I was proud to share with the governor the role that Thermo Fisher plays in advancing many of these priorities. As one of the state’s largest companies, we are committed to helping advance the life sciences industry in Massachusetts, so we can help to improve lives across the globe.

To help improve our understanding of human diseases the UAMS - University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has launched the Thermo Fisher Scientific Center of Excellence for Proteomics. This new center will enable researchers and doctors to use advanced tools, including state-of-the-art Thermo Scientific Orbitrap mass spectrometers, to study the effect proteins have on human health and treatment options. With support from UAMS, we are committed to fostering innovation, advancing education, and gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of disease. To learn more about this exciting partnership and how our advanced Orbitrap instruments will boost drug discovery and improve human health, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eQ7Yf4Yj

Our interns gain valuable work experience while making a difference in our communities through our volunteer programs. From working with local farms to provide equitable access to healthy food to supporting people with disabilities through outdoor adventures, Thermo Fisher interns have rich experiences and the chance to make an impact. To learn how you can gain hands-on experience, build a purposeful career, and make a difference in the world, explore our 2025 Summer Internship opportunities. https://lnkd.in/grMB2EN3

We believe in the power of community and the impact of small acts of kindness. This is why our colleagues, in partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities, support families like the Huggins, whose premature baby required an 82-day NICU stay. Thermo Fisher Scientific volunteers provided meals that made their stay “like home” so that they were able to “unwind... get some sleep and do it all over the next day for our baby,” said Allyson Huggins. We are proud of our global network of colleagues who provide vital support in their communities. https://lnkd.in/g77AFgvw

Thermo Fisher Scientific and Novo Nordisk Foundation Cellerator share a vision for transforming the future of cell therapy, which involves transplanting healthy, living cells to potentially cure patients with chronic or life-threatening diseases such as Parkinson’s, kidney disease, type 1 diabetes and more. This is why both organizations are now working together to support operational excellence in the Cellerator GMP facility and innovation hub that will open in 2027 at the Technical University of Denmark. Colleagues from Thermo Fisher and the Novo Nordisk Foundation Cellerator gathered to celebrate this collaboration on October 31 when keynote speaker Dr. Kapil Bharti of The National Institutes of Health shared his perspective on innovations in stem cell therapy for eye disease treatment. We look forward to the future of this collaboration, which is focused on advancing cell therapy treatments for patients who need them most. https://lnkd.in/e4e-pjSR

At Thermo Fisher we are committed to driving innovation and sustainability and are proud to have supported the winning team at the 2024 InCube Challenge, an international innovation competition for university students. Our team explored ways to leverage clinical trial services data to help us reach our goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. We are proud of their forward-thinking work and excited to continue to empower the next generation of leaders to tackle pressing global challenges.

Help us congratulate the winners of the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge! 13-year-old Tina Jin from San Jose, CA won the $25,000 top award for her research on an accessible and scalable water filtration system made from natural materials and common household items. The 30 finalists who competed at the Thermo Fisher JIC, a program of Society for Science, are among the nation’s brightest students—with several, including Tina, collectively accepting more than $100,000 in prizes at an award ceremony in Washington, D.C.

Together, let’s accelerate innovation and bring new medicines and vaccines to the world. Learn more https://lnkd.in/dVtZbyZP

An innovative community program focused on substance abuse treatment and recovery rather than incarceration is making a significant impact in the fight against opioid addiction and reducing repeat offenses in Washoe County, Nevada. The program is supported by advanced drug testing technology from Thermo Fisher and has helped people find employment and rebuild their lives. As National Substance Use Prevention month ends, we want to shine a light on the importance of substance use awareness and the life-changing impact of effective recovery programs. https://lnkd.in/ecfd2Q9d
