Lab Assistant

At StrataDx, we value our employees for their skills, expertise, work ethic and collaborative approach.

We realize people have choices: where they live, work and play, and we are grateful to have such an incredible work force. We celebrate and value each employee’s uniqueness, and what each brings to our organization. That is the culture we have created at Strata. We welcome those differences as we consist of a team that speaks multiple languages and represents the many diverse places from which they came. Our patient specimens are no different. The way we treat each slide individually is the way we treat our employees, with the respect and care they deserve. We hope that is why you choose to use Strata or join the Strata family.
