There are three primary symptoms of stomach cancer: indigestion, loss of appetite, and heartburn. These symptoms should not be ignored, as this condition is generally curable when caught in its early stages.
But in a merged entity with 50,000 people, Rothberg is just another guy running a small division who has to fight internal battles for resources. Rothberg sold his last company to Life Techâs Greg Lucier, but the guy who runs Thermo Fisher is named Marc Casper.
Taken together, Thermo and Life Tech sell everything from mass spectrometers to chemical reagents to high-speed DNA sequencers that labs rely on every day. This is a huge mash-up of people and cultures and geographies, as Thermo has 39,000 employees and Life Tech has 10,000 people spread around the world. Iâm sure there are some rational, economically self-interested reasons behind this mega-deal. Harried executives see golden parachutes.
