Through this transaction, the company will combine its expertise in high-quality IVD as well as its strategic CDMO partnerships with ADx NeuroSciences’ experience and biomarker portfolio to bring earlier neurodegenerative disease diagnostic solutions to the global diagnostics market.

Fujirebio stated that the deal will also add further experience, expertise and resources to the Fujirebio Neuro Center of Excellence.

Fujirebio president and CEO Goki Ishikawa said: “By welcoming ADx NeuroSciences in the Fujirebio group of companies, Fujirebio will be able to expand its antibody supply business and contract development and manufacturing (CDMO) offerings in the neurodegenerative field to our partners globally.

“Fujirebio is committed to invest in developing diagnostic kits in the field of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.”

In March, Fujirebio launched the Lumipulse G pTau 181 Plasma assay for fully automated blood-based Alzheimer’s disease biomarker testing.
