About GenDx

GenDx is a global leader in molecular diagnostic laboratory solutions for high resolution tissue typing of both donors and patients and monitoring transplant success. We combine our cutting-edge software solutions, reagents for DNA sequencing-based HLA typing and transplant surveillance strategies with our excellent customer support including a comprehensive education program. Our products are sold all over the world through direct sales and distributors. The GenDx office is based at Utrecht Science Park in The Netherlands.

You will join a motivated and knowledgeable team working in a dynamic, innovative, and internationally oriented environment focused on excellence in molecular diagnostics.
