This week, I joined the US-China Business Council board in Beijing to continue advocating for a stable, fair and predictable business environment for American companies operating in China. The USCBC’s mission is to strengthen the U.S.-China relationship to benefit both countries for the good of the world. As business leaders, we take seriously our role as stewards of the world’s most important bilateral relationship. That’s why I have served as a board member for most of the past decade, including three years as chairman and chairman emeritus. The delegation held productive discussions with senior leaders from Beijing and China’s foreign affairs, commerce, technology and development ministries to reinforce our shared view of the benefits of our countries’ cooperation. We also met with the U.S. Ambassador to China, David Perdue, who has been a strong advocate for the American business community since arriving recently. As American and Chinese trade negotiators met in Stockholm, we were encouraged by the ongoing dialogue on bilateral and global issues. I return from the trip heartened that the U.S. and China can stabilize the business environment and strengthen bilateral relations. Thank you to the USCBC team for being a bridge-builder, promoting cooperation and engagement and advancing economic prosperity for Americans, Chinese and all people. And, as always, thank you to our Thermo Fisher Scientific colleagues all over the world, including our team in China, for your passion for fulfilling our Mission to enable our customers to make the world healthier cleaner and safer.

Together, we're making a difference in the lives of patients everywhere.

Our colleagues in Brno, Czech Republic, share more than just scientific and technological expertise—they also compete together in a local hockey league. How do skills from working with electron microscopes and spectrometers translate into team play? What do they discover about teamwork when they trade their workstations for the ice rink? Lubomir and his teammates show us how they work together to support our customers, and each other, on and off the ice.

Advanced imaging technology that provides deeper insights into atomic structure is essential to empower our customers to solve the world’s most pressing challenges, like finding new treatments for diseases, developing sustainable energy sources and much more. With enhanced automation and ease of use our new electron microscopes, the Talos 12 TEM and Scios 3 FIB-SEM, offer scientists in labs of all sizes access to ultra-high-resolution imaging that provides deeper insights to empower researchers of all experience levels to drive discovery and innovation.

Summer safety is key to enjoying time outdoors. Did you know we have technology that helps protect your skin from UV rays and helps determine if water is safe for swimming? Our ion chromatography system is crucial in testing for zinc oxide, the active ingredient in sunscreen, to develop high-quality sunscreens for consumers. Additionally, our liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technologies help authorities test for water contamination, such as harmful algae blooms, so beachgoers can feel confident before taking a dip.

Gene therapies offer incredible hope for patients, from treating cancers to curing lifelong conditions like sickle cell anemia. How do they work? According to Thermo Fisher’s Namritha Ravinder, gene therapies can correct "spelling errors" in a patient’s genetic code to restore normal function. She recently joined Science with a Twist to discuss the science behind gene therapies and their potential.

Advancing U.S. biomedical leadership and our innovation ecosystem Last week, I was honored to meet with Jay Bhattacharya, Director of The National Institutes of Health. We had a productive conversation about the importance of U.S. biomedical leadership and the strong innovation ecosystem that continues to fuel the American economy. We also discussed Thermo Fisher Scientific's role as a partner in supporting the NIH, the biopharma industry and American innovation overall. The mission of the NIH is “to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability.” Thermo Fisher’s Mission to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer is clearly aligned. As the largest public funder of biomedical and behavioral research in the world, NIH is the driving force behind decades of advances that improve health, revolutionize science, and serve society. NIH has contributed to countless advancements over the decades – from mapping of the human genome, to cancer immunotherapy, to HIV and hepatitis treatments to stroke prevention and treatment. Thermo Fisher is a key partner for NIH – providing the life science tools used by NIH and its funded academic hubs, as well as by pharma and biotech more generally. In addition, dozens of our colleagues work at the NIH campus and with NIH-funded academic institutions, supporting researchers with technologies and expertise to advance discovery. It was exciting to hear Dr. Bhattacharya’s thoughts on some of the key opportunities ahead in biomedical research, including addressing high-burden conditions like obesity, diabetes and Alzheimer’s, and the potential of proteomics to unlock new insights into human biology and drug targets. Both Dr. Bhattacharya and I are confident that the U.S. remains the best place for scientists to innovate and recognize the importance of NIH funding to enable it. NIH is an investment in a brighter future for all, and Thermo Fisher will continue to be there to support it. We remain committed to enhancing a resilient national life sciences ecosystem aligned with NIH’s goals for U.S. scientific leadership, and I look forward to the next breakthrough that will improve lives. Thank you to Dr. Bhattacharya for your leadership. And, thank you to our colleagues for what they do every day to fulfill our Mission.

We’re proud to announce the launch of the Centre for Advanced Training and Innovative Research (CATIR) in Pretoria, South Africa, where we will support and train the next generation of African scientists. In partnership with South African Medical Research Council and the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation, CATIR will provide a holistic and hands-on approach to lab training using world class technology for local students. The dedicated facility is also designed to support future pandemic preparedness and local healthcare capacity.
