Joseph Harriger earned his Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Pittsburgh in 2022. Early in his academic career, he developed a strong interest in molecular, immunological, and microbiological research through advanced, hands-on work at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.Today, Joseph serves as a Life Science Specialist with Thermo Fisher Scientific, supporting a four-state territory and partnering with customers across multiple multimillion-dollar accounts. In this role, he provides advanced technical guidance and helps translate complex scientific concepts into practical laboratory solutions.Joseph’s research background is broad and interdisciplinary. As an undergraduate and graduate researcher, he conducted independent studies examining elemental metal sequestration—particularly zinc—in pathogenic bacteria. He also contributed to the development and application of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies through collaborations with the Bility Laboratory, the Graduate School of Public Health, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Defense.At the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, within the Division of Infectious Diseases, Joseph supported assay development focused on natural killer, or NK, cells, evaluating NK cell killing efficiency in the presence of proprietary monoclonal antibodies.In addition to wet-lab research, Joseph worked extensively with computational and in-silico data, analyzing protein–protein and protein–RNA interactions in support of thesis-level research exploring cell-cycle mechanisms in Trypanosoma brucei. He also served as the primary author on a peer-reviewed publication examining the effects of prolonged spaceflight on the human immune system, including allergy development and ionizing radiation exposure.Overall, Joseph’s background reflects strong scientific training, interdisciplinary research experience, and a proven ability to connect advanced science with real-world application—skills that continue to guide his work at Thermo Fisher Scientific today.
