A Year in Review

2024 was a year defined by bold changes to our products, our service, and who we are as a company. We benefit from a consistent culture of questioning the norm and considering radical change if it benefits our customers, users, and patient outcomes.

AusDiagnostics & R-Biopharm: Partners in Molecular Diagnostics

You may recall our announcement last year when AusDiagnostics was acquired by R-Biopharm AG, a global leader in diagnostics solutions.

Since the acquisition, we have worked closely with the global R-Biopharm team to synergise our operational efficiency and distribute our technologies to new markets.

This month, we announced the next stage of our integration with R-Biopharm AG. AusDiagnostics will transition to operate under the R-Biopharm brand, delivering the same quality products under a globally recognised identity.

Solutions for neglected tropical diseases

This year, we announced our new Vector-Borne Diseases portfolio of molecular diagnostics. Intended to provide support to clinicians contending with neglected tropical diseases, the panels represent the fulfillment of our Tailored Panels Initiative, in which we lend our expertise and resources to partners with localised health knowledge. These collaborations promise to uplift the standard of healthcare by providing tailored diagnostics specific to local needs.

Supporting the Mpox global health emergency

The AusDiagnostics team has been closely monitoring the spread of mpox this year as the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) in response to a worrying increase in transmission.

In support of clinicians worldwide, we developed a monkeypox virus assay for the differential diagnosis of lesion-causing pathogens.

Our relationship with our customers is a collaborative partnership, and we believe that this means it is our responsibility to support our customers with up to date diagnostics solutions in response to our changing healthcare landscape.
