Bio-Rad Laboratories, based out of Hercules, CA, has engaged J9 Leading Solutions in partnership with Brandman University to conduct training to nurture creative thinking and innovation.  Bio-Rad is a leader of scientific discoveries, and has been at the center of manufacturing and distributing life science research products around the world for over 50 years.

Founded in 1952 by David and Alice Schwartz, Bio-Rad has since changed the way scientific research is conducted.  By creating products that accelerate the scientific discovery process, Bio-Rad has enabled scientists to save time and to focus on their work, rather than hassling with inefficient tools and ineffective processes. This contribution to the research world has lead to discoveries such as better blood virus testing for HIV and Hepatitis research, and the “mad cow” test for the agriculture industry. These scientific discoveries have greatly contributed to the control and prevention of various viral and bacterial infections for multiple industries.

Bio-Rad also encourages the green movement throughout every aspects of the corporation. Every operation put into effect and every product that is designed is specially engineered to have the least impact on the environment. By implementing environment protection programs Bio-Rad is simultaneously turning all research, around the world, green.

World renowned in hospitals, universities, institutions, inspection agencies, and in both biological and private industries, Bio-Rad has successfully served over 100,000 customers.  Keeping a fresh entrepreneurial spirit has kept Bio-Rad successful. The company’s “open-door” style leadership has kept the staff encouraged and inspired to come up with the freshest ideas.
