Women in life sciences research
Thermo Fisher Scientific is proud to be supporting the Women in Electron Microscopy initiative, which is bringing women together from diverse backgrounds and specializations to generate new ideas, perspectives and collaborations and driving innovation in electron microscopy. The event, happening 8-10th October 2025, at Forschung Zentrum Jülich aims to foster a supportive and inclusive community for women in microscopy, and is endorsed by a number of national microscopy societies. We are committed to fostering the advancement of women and building a corporate culture in which women employees are recruited, valued, developed, retained, and promoted globally, and we are delighted to be able to send two of our talented microscopists, Dr. Lingbo Yu and Maria Meledina, to the event to share their experiences with the community.
