Eurobio Scientific, a leading French group in in-vitro diagnostics for transplantation, oncology and infectious diseases, announces that it has closed the acquisition of CareDx AB in Sweden and its fully owned subsidiaries in the United States and Australia that constitutes the Lab Products division of CareDx, Inc., a US global precision medicine company focused on transplantation.
Combined with Eurobio Scientific affiliate GenDx’s expertise in next-generation sequencing (“NGS”) assays, software and global commercial footprint, this acquisition brings together two highly complementary portfolios in human leukocyte antigen (“HLA)” typing and transplantation diagnostics.
Strategic Rationale
This acquisition enables GenDx to offer a more comprehensive portfolio across the transplantation IVD workflow, from pre-transplant HLA typing to post-transplant monitoring solutions. The combined entity will offer an expanded portfolio of molecular assays, reagents, and software, with the aim of enabling laboratories to streamline operations and improve clinical outcomes.
The integration of CareDx’s Lab Products division strengthens GenDx’s presence in key markets, including the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific, while enhancing its ability to serve both research and clinical laboratories.
Key Highlights
“We are happy for the opportunity to close this transaction ahead of schedule and start the journey together with our team and new members towards our mission to advance precision medicine in transplantation,” said Denis Fortier, CEO of Eurobio Scientific. “We aim at delivering comprehensive solutions and continued innovation to all our customers and contribute to our patient quality of life.”
John Hanna, CEO of CareDx, added: “We are pleased to complete this transaction and believe the Lab Products portfolio is well positioned under Eurobio Scientific’s ownership and global IVD platform.”
