Sysmex celebrates the medical laboratory
during Lab Week and every week!
For children, exploring science sparks a powerful sense of wonder. That same curiosity is what
leads to a lifelong passion for science and, for many, a career in the medical laboratory. During Lab Week,
we celebrate not only the vital work of today’s laboratory professionals, but also the young scientists whose
first moments of wonder may one day shape the future of medicine.
