Cepheid
904 Guild Drive
Lodi, CA 95089

Cepheid operates within the Danaher family of Operating Companies. With a patient-centric approach, the Company is striving to deliver the benefits of seamlessly accessible molecular testing closer to the patient, enabling a higher quality of care, lower costs, and improved outcomes.

Congratulations to Cepheid on renewing your workforce development partnership with ETP!

It’s an honor to collaborate with the Employment Training Panel, Esther Rivera, Derek Beattie and Jonathan Medeiros to implement another customized workforce training plan that promotes California’s life sciences industry in the San Joaquin Valley — advancing Governor Newsom’s California Jobs First State Economic Blueprint: https://jobsfirst.ca.gov/.

Cepheid’s automated systems enable rapid, advanced testing for infectious diseases, sexual health, healthcare-associated infections, and oncology — streamlining traditionally complex lab testing with results available in as little as 30 minutes. Their $200 million investment in a new FDA-approved biotech manufacturing facility in Lodi, California, will have a substantial and lasting impact on both the local and state economies.

This investment not only strengthens Cepheid’s long-term growth and competitiveness but also reflects their deep appreciation for their workforce, offering good compensation, benefits, and career advancement opportunities.
