Danaher announces diagnostic development and commercialization partnership to scale precision medicine
Danaher Corporation announced the launch of a partnership with AstraZeneca to develop and commercialize novel diagnostic tools and tests intended to help clinicians better determine which patients would most benefit from precision medicine treatments.
This partnership will utilize the newly opened Danaher Centers for Enabling Precision Medicine to support a more streamlined, end-to-end development process. The first product intended to be developed through this partnership will leverage technologies from Leica Biosystems, one of Danaher's subsidiaries. The initial focus will be on digital and computational pathology products and AI-assisted algorithms, to help clinicians better diagnose patients by identifying those who are most likely to benefit from targeted therapies.
