All of us at Immundiagnostik have a passion for helping others and building genuine, long-term relationships. Read on to learn more about the awesome people behind our brand.
Welcome to idkna.com and thank you for your interest in learning more about our company!
After working in the biotech industry for over 20 years, we both observed work-life balance was nearly nonexistent at most companies, while employee turnover rates and stress were high. On top of that, profits always seemed to prevail over doing the right thing for people.
We took the opportunity to create Immundiagnostik, Inc. not only to help improve clinical outcomes around the globe but also to create a company that we would want to work for ourselves.
Our guiding principle as people and an organization is to always do the right thing. This would not be possible without the right people on our team.
All of us at Immundiagnostik have a passion for helping others and building genuine, long-term relationships. We know our strengths and weaknesses, and we challenge each other’s perspectives, while always doing what is best for our customers.

Jen most cherishes time spent with her daughters. She also loves music, being outside in nature, traveling, and experiencing new places and people. Someday, Jen looks forward to sharing her professional experience and personal values with others by mentoring young entrepreneurs.

“My life is a science experiment.”
With a personal interest in public health and epidemiology, Jamie Bolduc knew early on that a medical career was not for her. Being the caring and compassionate person she is, she felt medical lab science would be a space to pursue her passion for learning how science can help people.
Jamie has a degree in Medical Laboratory Science and received her board certification from the American Society for Clinical Pathology. Before joining our team, she was a Technical Applications Scientist at Zeus Scientific, Inc., and worked as a Serologist at the Mayo Clinic.
With her extensive background and wealth of knowledge, Jamie now helps us provide top-notch technical support and assay validation services to the lab professionals we serve as our Technical Applications Scientist. She often jokes her life is a science experiment. She has become an in-house mentor to all of us here at IDK, Inc., helping our team further understand the intricacies of clinical laboratory science.
When Jamie is not assisting our customers, you can find her hanging out with her family or giving back to the community through charity work for Autism Speaks, New Hampshire Families in Transition, and the American Cancer Society. She loves to travel and is always up for trying something new.
