Not your typical engineering path: Laura Corbella speaks to building trust, one hospital at a time

A challenging start in biomedical engineering

My name is Laura and I am a biomedical engineer in Spain. My early career path wasn’t straightforward. After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering, I faced a common challenge for job seekers in Madrid—limited industry opportunities in a market dominated by distributors rather than manufacturers. This lack of opportunities led me to pursue my Master’s degree in Ireland, with a focus on product design and biomedical engineering research and development (R&D).

Navigating change during the COVID pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic threw my carefully laid plans into disarray. When everything started shutting down, I decided to return to Spain due to concerns about family members with delicate health conditions and travel restrictions. This unexpected move forced me to completely reimagine my career path.

Finding my place at Radiometer

I decided to pursue a career as a Field Service Engineer (FSE) to help customers fix issues with their medical instruments. I initially applied for a role with Danaher at a different Operating Company, but that didn’t work out. However, the recruiter recommended that I apply for an FSE position with Radiometer. During the interview with my future manager, we instantly connected on our vision and approach—a connection that would prove invaluable as I started my job at Radiometer.

Breaking ground as an early professional Field Service Engineer

Being the only female FSE in Spain and Portugal came with a unique set of challenges. Starting this role at a much younger age than the other FSEs, I often faced skepticism due to my lack of experience. Customers would watch me work and sometimes ask, “Are you sure you can put this back together?” These moments taught me to handle doubt with confidence and professionalism.

Growing into leadership

Four years later, I have progressed in my career from FSE to Area Manager, overseeing central and northern Spain, as well as the Catalonia region, while also leading a new call center project. What drives me? Two things: the satisfaction of fixing broken equipment and knowing that my work impacts patient care through medical diagnostics.

Working at Radiometer

What sets Radiometer apart is its culture. Seeing colleagues stay here for 30-40 years speaks volumes about the company. Our Spanish team operates like a family, making even the toughest days manageable. When you work with people you genuinely care about, it transforms the entire experience.

Advice for future FSEs

The FSE role isn’t for everyone. It requires a flexible schedule, as you don’t have a 9-to-5 job, the ability to adapt to the varied challenges of fieldwork and strong stress management skills. Success here is about having the right personality and attitude, embracing challenges and finding practical solutions.

Looking forward

There are excellent opportunities to develop your career at Radiometer. My own journey from FSE to Area Manager demonstrates the potential for advancement available here. And I have seen colleagues grow both within the company and throughout the Danaher enterprise. As long as you possess dedication, adaptability, and eagerness to learn and grow professionally, opportunities will be available.

Looking back, the unexpected changes during the COVID-19 pandemic led me exactly where I needed to be. Sometimes the best opportunities come disguised as challenges, and I’m grateful for every step of my journey at Radiometer. For those considering this path, remember that the right attitude and determination can open doors you never expected.

From Scientist to Leader: How Danaher’s Sarah Kehoe, PhD, Gained Confidence in Her Career

While confidence is important for any professional, it’s essential for those who want to grow their careers and lead teams. Just ask Sarah Kehoe, PhD, Vice President, Execution & Process Excellence, Danaher Diagnostics (one of Danaher’s three platforms). Sarah intentionally sought out people within Danaher, especially female scientific leaders, who she could learn from to develop more confidence, while also pursuing growth opportunities to practice on the job.

Even from a young age, Sarah knew she wanted to make a difference in the fight against disease to improve patient outcomes. So after earning her PhD in molecular cell biology and working her early years at a cancer institute, it’s no surprise that she eventually landed at Beckman Coulter (a Danaher business) in 2010, and over time, worked her way up to the Chief Innovation Office for Danaher Diagnostics.

As Sarah’s responsibilities grew, so did her need for leadership training and development. Fortunately, Danaher is committed to developing future leaders who can turn ideas to impact and accelerate Danaher’s mission to innovate at the speed of life. The company saw Sarah’s leadership potential and invested in her.

Stepping up to become a leader

“Over the past 15 years, Danaher has invested a lot in my career development as a leader,” she said. “I’ve attended multiple leadership programs and have taken the Harvard Core Credential of Readiness ‘mini-MBA’ business course, which Danaher graciously paid for. Danaher also invested in me from a mentoring perspective, pairing me up with different leaders according to my development goals and targeted areas for growth. Some of these have included business presidents and general manager mentors that I met with quarterly.”

As Sarah’s career progressed, she also received timely coaching through Danaher’s Women + Friends Associate Resource Group, which gave her the confidence to write a 250-page proposal that won Danaher an $8 million BARDA award to develop AI algorithms for infectious disease applications.

“Without that coaching, I wouldn’t have had the courage to try,” she said.

Sarah’s numerous sponsors, mentors and coaches, including a former boss that became a “mentor of a lifetime,” left an incredible impact on Sarah’s career and her own personal and professional journey.

“I learned how to delegate, how to give real-time and fair feedback, and how to be more self-aware,” she said. “Most importantly, I learned how to be an effective and authentic servant leader, even in times of stress. By learning empathy-based and logical decision-making techniques, I was able to create a high-performing team without compromising my values of ensuring psychological safety and intellectual honesty.”

Sarah facilitating a patient panel at the 2023 Danaher Summit. “Danaher has taught me to get out of my comfort zone, ‘play big’ and reach for the stars,” she said.

Countering those “inner gremlins”

Based on her previous scientific roles, Sarah can definitely relate to other female leaders in STEM fields. During her career, she has encountered “imposter syndrome”—feelings of self-doubt and personal incompetence that persist despite one’s education, experience and accomplishments. But she never let these negative feelings stop her.

“One particular book—Tara Mohr’s ‘Playing Big’—which I was gifted through the Women + Friends Associate Resource Group, really impacted my career and how I deal with my ‘gremlins’ and inner critics that drain energy and cause self-doubt,” she said. “Those feelings never go away entirely but learning how to keep them in check so that you can be in the right headspace is essential to creativity and innovation. This is especially applicable but not limited to women.”

Would you fit at Danaher? What does Sarah look for in potential candidates?

“I look for people who are passionate and drawn to our mission to innovate at the speed of life for the purpose of improving the lives of patients around the world. Having a high emotional intelligence is also extremely important. It’s key to working well on teams as you chart the course and deal with ambiguity.”

Learning to play big

“During my time with Danaher, I’ve learned how to play big,” said Sarah. “I’ve found out how to shed fear. I’ve learned that even though you’re out of your comfort zone, you go for it and you grow—and you lean into becoming a leader, even if you don’t feel ready. Danaher supports you in getting you there.”

In fact, those times of stretching are now among Sarah’s favorite memories.

“Some of my proudest moments at Danaher were when I was pushed out of my comfort zone and when people believed in me enough to take a chance on me,” she said. “For example, in 2022 I was given sponsorship responsibility for Excellence in Innovation—an annual awards event where Danaher brings together hundreds of people from all over the world to celebrate our Diagnostic companies’ top science and technology innovators. I had to go on stage and read from a teleprompter, which I had never done before, to recognize the top innovators in the company, including a special award honoring the legacy of my former boss who had been a driving force in sparking a culture of innovation at Danaher, but had recently passed away from breast cancer.

In 2023 the stakes got higher when I was invited to moderate a patient panel at the “Danaher Summit: Diagnostics Insights to Impact” in front of 200+ executives and world-renowned scientists inclusive of Nobel Laureates, Danaher’s founders and Danaher’s CEO.

Watch Sarah moderate the panel, “The Access Odyssey: When Health Equity is Not Equal” at Danaher’s 2023 Summit

Confidence-building experiences like these are what keep Sarah happily growing at Danaher.

“I’ve been with Danaher 15 years because Danaher offers so many opportunities to grow and learn as a leader, while doing work that is helping to improve patient outcomes,” she said. “I’ve had many roles over the years and have influenced the creation of my own future roles by identifying business needs and pitching ways I can help. Danaher is very data-driven and uses logic in their decision-making, which my ‘inner scientist’ greatly values.”

The Right Treatment at the Right Time: How Sarah Kehoe and Danaher Diagnostics Are Transforming Patient Care
Sarah Kehoe’s desire to help save lives through science started in an unexpected place—on horseback. Yet her youthful zeal led her to where she is today, part of a team leading innovation for Danaher Diagnostics and driving life-saving diagnostic testing for patients all over the world. What she didn’t know is that one of the lives that Danaher Diagnostics’ technologies would eventually touch would be her own.

As a teenager, Sarah spent several years giving riding lessons at Camp Fantastic—a week-long adventure camp for children with cancer. Sarah’s time with the kids sparked strong empathy for patients and a strong desire to find a cure for cancer, which motivated her to get a PhD in Molecular Cell Biology from the University of Florida.

Sarah Kehoe, Vice President, Execution & Process Excellence

Sarah’s journey to fulfill her youthful dream

After graduate school, Sarah started her career as a group leader in clinical genomics for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, identifying cancer patients with druggable DNA mutations and matching them to treatments that would target those mutations. A few years later, she transitioned to industry—joining Beckman Coulter (a Danaher Diagnostics business) as a senior clinical studies scientist supporting genomics. In this role, Sarah worked with clinicians and researchers worldwide to sequence patient DNA and RNA, and bioinformatically analyze the data to reveal insights into genomic root causes of patient disease.

“I wanted to scale patient impact globally—beyond a single hospital’s patient population,” she said. “Since then, my journey has evolved to focus on additional disease states, not only cancer, because Danaher capabilities can help clinicians move the needle on many diagnostically preventable deaths. As I became a people leader, I realized it’s about force multiplication. The way to make an impact is by partnering as a team and growing future leaders, not followers. Together, we can play a bigger role than going it alone.”

After a series of career moves within Danaher, Sarah now serves as Vice President, Execution & Process Excellence within the Chief Innovation Office for Danaher Diagnostics (one of Danaher’s three platforms).

“My work involves leading innovation programs and teams focused on developing novel diagnostics for neurodegenerative disease, infectious disease and cancer to enable precision medicine,” she said.

For example, Sarah’s team has been involved in executing Danaher’s diagnostics-focused Beacons programs, which invest in pioneering academic research to impact human health.

Hear Sarah speak about how Danaher Diagnostics’ work is making an impact in the world

Seeing her passion turn into impact

Over the years, Sarah has seen Danaher’s technology at work in many exciting ways. One example was at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, Sarah’s team was using a blood analyzer from Beckman Coulter to do a sepsis study at Mass General Hospital in Boston. When COVID-19 hit and children started getting multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C)—a rare but deadly condition that can develop weeks after an initial SARS-CoV-2 infection—Danaher was right there to pivot and begin studies to understand why.

“Our principal investigators wheeled the instrument down the hall and started an IRB-compliant clinical study for MIS-C because they realized monocyte distribution width (MDW)—the same biomarker we were using as an early indicator of sepsis—is also an early warning light for MIS-C,” said Kehoe. “This led us to winning almost $1 million in BARDA government funding to do a MIS-C study in kids. This was all because of our principal investigator’s awareness of how our devices could help children with this rare condition.”

Sarah went on to co-author that MIS-C study in 2022.

Closer to home: Becoming a patient herself

More recently, Sarah witnessed the pivotal role that diagnostic testing plays in improving patient outcomes in a much more personal way. In December 2024, she got a severe case of meningitis, which put her in the hospital for eight days.

“During that experience, I had a massively broad barrage of diagnostic tests run as part of my treatment plan, many of which leveraged Danaher’s diagnostic tests being run at the hospital’s core lab and at send-out reference labs, including IVD tests from Beckman Coulter, Cepheid and Radiometer,” she said. “This personal patient experience really solidified in my mind how heavily reliant clinicians are on diagnostics to save patient lives. Diagnostics provides a window into the biological problems going on in the body, and without this, doctors cannot intervene with the right life-saving treatments at the right time. After a brief medical leave, I returned to work with a renewed passion and sense of purpose for the work we do at Danaher every day.”

Coming full circle and looking forward to what’s next

Today, Sarah is back to full health and excited about the future. What started as a dream to help cure cancer, has led Sarah to where she is today—in a thriving, satisfying career that impacts lives all around the globe.

Advancing Oncology Diagnostics: Rob Monroe Discusses Making an Impact as a Chief Scientific Officer in Oncology at Danaher Diagnostics

Rob Monroe joined Danaher over two years ago as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) in oncology and Chief Medical Officer for Leica Biosystems. Throughout his time with Danaher, he has worked with leadership and other teams to innovate oncology diagnostics. Hear his experience with Danaher in his own words.

Briefly introduce yourself and how long you’ve worked with Danaher. Tell us about your role.

I’ve been with Danaher for two and a half years. I’m a pathologist by training. I’m MD and PhD trained, and then I did residency training and pathology and worked in the clinical world as a practicing pathologist for a few years before I moving into industry work.

I joined Danaher with a dual role as CSO for oncology for the diagnostics platform and medical officer for Leica Biosystems.

What prompted you to make the leap from a clinical role to industry?

I really wanted to be involved in something more innovative and science-focused beyond the straight practice of pathology. That really spurred me to look into areas of industry where my training could be valuable to the types of products and innovations that were being developed in the diagnostics industry.

Can you share any standout parts of the work that you’ve done in the last two and a half years? Any projects you have been a part of that you’re really proud of?

It’s been really exciting to work with leadership in different areas of the company and share my vision for becoming more innovative. I’ve had the opportunity to set up some really exciting collaborations.

For example, with Yale University and one of our scientific advisory board members, we set up a Beacon project to develop a test for an exciting new therapy for breast cancer patients. So that’s one that I’m really excited about.

What do you think the future holds for your career? What are you looking forward to in the industry?

What I’m really excited about is building capabilities within Danaher that don’t exist now, which can help us to really advance and accelerate the development of really impactful diagnostics. I’d love to see these tests coming through and making an impact on patients’ lives.

Is there anything else you want to share with future candidates about working with Danaher?

One area is the way that Danaher goes about doing things. It’s extremely valuable not just for people who are business oriented, but people who want to apply and learn how to run groups and how to develop products. I think the Danaher Business System is a great part of the experience of Danaher that really adds to the culture and the richness of the experience here.

Bringing Together Diverse Perspectives to Do Good: Ephraim Tsalik Discusses Making an Impact as the Chief Scientific Officer for Infectious Diseases at Danaher Diagnostics

When Ephraim Tsalik transitioned from academia to Danaher, he had the chance to combine his infectious disease expertise with teams across various Danaher operating companies. His work aims to accelerate medical product advancement and improve the future. We met Ephraim to discuss his experience and future goals.

Tell us about your role and what your day-to-day looks like.

My role is chief scientific officer for infectious diseases for Danaher Diagnostics.

Before joining Danaher, I was in academia. I was a tenured associate professor at Duke University, and now I maintain an adjunct appointment there. I’m an infectious disease physician by training, and I still do clinical work at the Veteran’s Affairs (VA) hospital in Durham, North Carolina.

In my role at the platform, I have the privilege of getting to interface with a lot of different stakeholders that are both internal and external to figure out what opportunities we should be pursuing.

Do you like the work that you’re doing?

I love it. It’s a lot of fun.

I came in part because I have something to give, but I also have a tremendous amount to receive just working with people who are thinking about the marketing components, the technical components, the commercial elements, and just having all of those different perspectives come together so that we can ultimately advance a product that does good in the world, but also is sort of constrained by the realities of how you make something that people are actually going to use and buy.

What are you looking forward to in your career at Danaher?

One of the things that seems to be shifting to some extent at Danaher is that there’s a recognition that if we’re only focused on the next few years, we’re going to miss out on the activities that we need to start now in order to really innovate and drive the field forward five years from now, seven years from now, 10 years from now.

Given that recognition, there are mechanisms to help enable some of that earlier-stage research, like the Beacon programs, which are opportunities to engage with external collaborators — typically in academia — to help cultivate some of the research that they’re doing with an eye on bringing those discoveries internally to Danaher to develop the products of the future.

Is there anything else that you would like to share for future candidates?

One thing that I wanted to mention for people who may be looking at a similar transition from academia or the clinical world into industry: Danaher is a place that very much embraces the idea of maintaining that visibility. In Danaher speak, going to Gemba, going to where things are, where the things are happening — I found that really valuable to maintain that connection so that I could continue to be a voice of the customer for the company.

Accelerate the Future of Science and Technology

A career at Danaher means working with leading experts across science and technology. Combine your unique expertise with the power of a global organization to create a meaningful impact for people everywhere.

Building strong teams, seeing our team members grow, and partnering with diverse associates helps us achieve our goals and provide the best possible products and services to our customers and patients.”

Building Strong Teams and Supporting Growth

Eduardo’s role involves creating strategies that not only attract and hire top talent but also foster the growth and development of our associates. By building strong, diverse teams, Eduardo ensures that Radiometer continues to deliver exceptional products and services. His dedication to employee engagement and development is key to maintaining our high standards and achieving our mission.

“For me, my purpose working at Radiometer is more than just a job – it’s about giving patients and their families comfort and confidence that our products help healthcare professionals make the best medical decisions. I’m grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on people’s lives, and it’s what keeps me motivated to do my job every day.”

A Mission-Driven Career

Eduardo’s story is a powerful reminder of why Radiometer exists: to improve patient care through innovative healthcare solutions. His personal experience in the NICU reinforced the critical role that our products play in helping save lives and providing peace of mind to families during their most vulnerable moments.

Radiometer’s commitment to excellence is driven by leaders like Eduardo, who bring both professional expertise and personal passion to their roles. His journey highlights the profound impact that dedicated individuals can have within our organization and the broader healthcare community.
