Lab Aspire

Welcome to LabAspire (www.labaspire.org)

LabAspire is designed to provide information about the exciting career opportunities in California’s public health laboratories. These labs serve the general public by screening newborns for various genetic and congenital disorders; watching for disease-producing agents in food, humans, and animals; and testing for new threats like West Nile virus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), avian influenza, and bioterrorism.

California is recruiting the next generation of lab directors and lab personnel, courageous people who love science, believe in community service, and want to pursue a career that combines both. LabAspire was created with students, graduates, counselors, parents, and laboratory professionals in mind.
