The LabOpp Global Leaders podcast is a series of conversations about Careers, the Lab Industry, Training, and People.

Our special guest in this episode is Ali Kwizera. Through a successive series of career advancements, Ali has demonstrated the impact one can have on the laboratory profession despite having fairly little bench experience. From providing direct support to LQMS programs, transforming how a country handles the diagnostics around a particular disease, optimizing laboratory networks or supporting global procurement of key diagnostics, Ali’s journey will share the importance of those at the bench, and those beyond the bench.

If you would like to get in touch with Ali, you can find him on LinkedIn.
