ABC Labs

ABC Labs is a start-up created in Spring 2020 as a direct response to the unprecedented challenges of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in order to quickly scaleup Swedish national testing capacity and create an automated infrastructure for producing cost-effective diagnostics at scale. Built in 7 weeks, we now represent 15-20% of COVID-19 testing in Sweden and have partnered with the Public Health Agency of Sweden, a majority of Swedish Regions, and almost all large private care providers to rollout mass testing across the country. 

Our culture is defined by speed, flexibility, and innovation without ever compromising the highest standards of quality and we have grown quickly to a team of over 65 people in less than a year. We work as a team where everyone contributes to a culture of excellence, believes in having fun, celebrates success, and strives to take on the greatest challenges knowing the profound societal impact of our efforts. Once this pandemic ends, we will use our infrastructure to tackle other significant challenges in healthcare. 

ABC Labs is now expanding and looking for a full-time IT Infrastructure Lead. Our laboratory is located at the modern facilities of Biomedicum, Campus Solna.
